The Zhitong Finance App learned that on Thursday, SpaceX (SPCX.US) once rose more than 5%, and as of press time, it had risen by more than 2%. According to the news, SpaceX announced that it has received an order worth 1.6 billion US dollars from the US Space Force to carry out 18 Falcon 9 rocket launch missions by the end of 2027 to launch satellites for the Pentagon to detect and target air targets. These 18 launch missions were distributed to SpaceX through two mission orders and are part of the US Space Force's core launch procurement program.

As the Trump administration lays the foundation for the “Golden Dome” missile defense system project, SpaceX has already won a Pentagon contract worth at least $7 billion this year. This multi-year defense project, which costs about 185 billion US dollars, will rely heavily on Elon Musk's rocket launcher and satellite company.
