SpaceX is on track to secure a $2 billion deal with the Pentagon to develop satellites capable of tracking missiles, as part of United States President Donald Trump's Golden Dome air defense project, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing sources with knowledge of the matter.
The space exploration company owned by tech mogul and billionaire Elon Musk would be closely involved in the Pentagon's plans to build satellite networks used for transmitting important military information and tracking vehicles on the ground, the sources said. Earlier this year, Trump estimated that the Golden Dome would become operational by the end of his presidential term, adding that its total cost would be $175 billion.
The Pentagon refused to comment on the report, while SpaceX did not provide a response.
