According to a report by KATV, the Air Force hopes to secure a new developer “soon” to complete a “scaled-back” version of the housing project at Little Rock AFB, Ark. Little Rock is one of the bases that was under contract to American Eagle, which completed only 25 of 468 houses at the base. The developer has been trying to sell other Air Force base housing projects. Meanwhile, Congress has called for an investigation.
As commercial companies, universities, and research agencies develop new approaches to operating satellites at lower and lower altitudes, the Space Force is taking notice and considering how it might leverage those advances in both the near and long term.
