US and UK militaries conduct coordinated satellite maneuvers
Posted: Sun, Sep 21, 2025, 8:30 AM ET (1230 GMT)
The United States and United Kingdom militaries have conducted their first coordinated satellite maneuvers. US Space Command said Thursday the maneuvers with the United Kingdom took place Sept. 4 through 12, when a U.S. satellite repositioned into close range of a UK spacecraft to inspect, monitor and validate its status. No further details about the spacecraft were disclosed. The operation marks an expansion of allied cooperation in the increasingly militarized space domain, where nations are developing capabilities to protect critical satellite infrastructure from potential threats. This operation occurred just months after the US revealed it had conducted similar operations with France, and is part of Multinational Force Operation Olympic Defender, a US-led initiative aimed at bolstering international cooperation in space defense.
