TacSat-7 & 8

TacSat-7 & 8 is the future iteration of the Operational Responsive Space (ORS) Office sponsored Tactical Satellite series of missions. The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) will be responsible for the development and integration of the spacecraft bus for this mission. Potentially among the many mission that might be considered in the future after the operational military RECSAT, COMSAT, and RADSAT are completed could be the development of a military intelligence SIGINT satellite.
