The US Space Force plans on commissioning two new narrowband communications satellites from either Lockheed Martin or Boeing. This would allow it to improve its existing MUOS constellation, which is made up of five satellites in geosynchronous orbits.However, Felt also explained that the Space Force is keeping a close eye on the development of direct-to-cell commercial satellite communications services.
