SpaceX wins $4.16B Space Force contract for Golden Dome AMTI satellites

The U.S. Space Force on May 29 awarded SpaceX a $4.16 billion contract to build a constellation of low-Earth-orbit satellites carrying airborne moving target indicator (AMTI) sensors for the Trump administration's Golden Dome homeland missile-defense initiative. The single award - larger than the combined prototype contracts handed to every other Golden Dome bidder - lifts SpaceX's total Golden Dome book to roughly $6.45B and cements it as the program's primary commercial space-layer builder as procurement accelerates toward an initial operational layer.
