The Tranche 1 satellit es (codenamed Wildfire) on this flight are for the Transport Layer and wer e built by Lockheed Martin. The mission is designated as SDA-T1TL-A and th e Falcon 9 booster is B10XX.X for this flight. The 2nd stage is equipped w ith a Mission Extension Kit. Comprising a gray band on the RP-1 tank\, ext ra helium bottles & batteries\, this kit extends the life of the stage in- orbit\, allowing it to deploy the payload directly into its operational or bit.\n-\nOnce fully operational\, the SDA Transport Layer will consist of a proliferated heterogeneous constellation of data relay space vehicles (S Vs) that provide persistent global coverage through a mesh network compris ed of communication satellites that connect to one another and to other sp ace vehicles and ground stations via optical intersatellite links (OISLs). By nature of the mesh network spanning the globe\, the Transport satellit es will also be able to transmit precise position\, navigation and timing (PNT) data to enhance GPS. A-class satellites have at least four optical c ross-links\, that is so they can talk to satellites that are in plane with one another as they're traveling and they also can talk to satellites tha t are cross-plane or in completely different orbits. So they can maintain those four lines of communication simultaneously. The B-class satellites w ill connect directly to the warfighters via the Link-16 military communica tions system. They have two optical cross-links each\, so that allows them to maintain constant communication with the other transport satellites in plane. The two other nodes will be Link-16 transmitters. Link-16 is an ex isting tactical communication system used across the services primarily fo r air and ground systems to share low latency data.The first phase of SDA ’s Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture consists of 28 satellites (Tranche 0 including 20 communications payloads made by Lockheed Martin an d York Space\, and eight missile-tracking infrared sensor satellites made by SpaceX and Leidos) as a proof of concept for the missile tracking and d ata relay network\, followed by more than 150 additional satellites to pro vide an initial operational capability. In total\, Tranche 1 will consist of 154 operational satellites: 126 in the transport layer developed by Yor k\, Northrop Grumman\, and Lockheed Martin\, and 28 focused on missile war ning and tracking developed by Northrop Grumman and L3Harris.

This fourth group of satellites consists of one 320kg ma in sat (named Zhongyuan 2?) and three 270kg accompanying sats (named ?)\, that operate in the X-Band using very long baseline interferometry. They a re also designated as PIESAT/Hongtu 2-05 to 2-08. These satellites make up the first wheel-pattern satellite formation\, with the master satellite i n the center of an imaginary hub and the three assistant satellites distri buted evenly on the spokes. The formation uses phase synchronization and i nter-satellite communication links to enable accurate orbit control\, ensu ring its stability and spatial safety. According to GalaxySpace the wheel- pattern formation\, in comparison to conventional interferometric satellit e systems\, has the advantages of a relatively stable formation configurat ion\, multiple interference baselines\, and high mapping efficiency. These satellites' millimeter-level deformation monitoring capability\, which ca n provide data support for the investigation and prevention of land subsid ence\, collapse\, landslides\, and other disasters\, makes them a powerful tool for early identification of major geological hazards in complex area s.
