So, what will the U.S. military do with a satellite way out past the moon?
"It's the first step for them to be able to know what’s going on in cislunar space and then identify any potential threats to US activities," Brian Weeden, director of program planning for the nonprofit Secure World Foundation,about the program. Weeden specified that he does not think the probe will be used to respond to threats in space but rather for observational purposes.
AFRL's video points to efforts by agencies like NASA to return to the moon's surface and other"interplanetary destinations," as part of the impetus to stretch the military's surveillance reach to cislunar space. The video states that these missions to the moon and beyond will be"increasing space traffic to the moon many times over the coming decades."
CHPS"will bypass thousands of government and commercial satellites as it makes its way to a rarely-before-visited domain 272,000 miles [438,000 km] from Earth," the video adds.
