SpaceX Starshield
SpaceX's government satellite program built on Starlink technology, providing Earth observation, secure communications and hosted payloads to US Government customers. Sensor types and performance are not publicly released, and access is through US Government agreements — it is listed here for discovery and cannot be quoted or ordered through TerraFabric.
Scenes & acquisition
This program is listed so it can be discovered alongside everything else in the fabric. Access is arranged directly with the operator under a government agreement, so TerraFabric cannot quote, order or task it, and it never appears in coverage rankings.
Program informationAccess endpoints
Licence
Available only to authorised US Government customers under their own agreements with the operator. Not quotable or orderable through TerraFabric.
