U.S. Space Force Chief of Space Operations Gen. Chance Saltzman testified before Senate subcommittee on Tuesday, one day after the Space Force released its $30 billion budget.
In addition to more troops, the funding boost would pay for five additional launches and a nearly two-fold increase in money for low and medium orbit missile-tracking satellites.
The Space Force doesn't fare too badly under the House Appropriations defense subcommittee's draft released today getting a slight bump up from its procurement request but taking a cut in RTD&E.
