US EditionMusk's SpaceX is frontrunner to build Trump's Golden Dome missile shield: Reuters
- Elon Musk's SpaceX and two partners are frontrunners to build part of Trump's 'Golden Dome' missile defense system, which includes satellites to detect and track missiles and another fleet of armed satellites to destroy them.
- SpaceX has proposed offering the system as a 'subscription service' instead of the government owning it outright, which could bypass some Pentagon procurement rules and allow faster deployment, though some officials have concerns.
- SpaceX has estimated the preliminary costs for the satellite detection layer at $6-10 billion, and has launched hundreds of spy satellites that could potentially be retrofitted for the project, but some are uncertain if the new technology can be set up efficiently and cost-effectively.
