  "textContent": "The Space Development Agency launched its first two batches of operational satellites last fall in what was supposed to be the start of a 10-month campaign to populate its proliferated data transport and missile tracking constellation. Six months later, the agency and its vendors have yet to move those first satellites through the formal testing phase and its ambitious launch schedule is months behind due to supply chain challenges and technical issues with at least one satellite provider.\n\nThe post Space Development Agency Faces Challenges Scaling its Growing Constellation appeared first on Air & Space Forces Magazine.",
