True Anomaly raises $400M to build agile Jackal spacecraft for Space Force warfare

True Anomaly, a space warfare startup founded in 2022 by former Air Force officer Even Rogers, has raised $400 million to develop combat-ready satellites. The company's flagship Jackal spacecraft is designed for agility and manoeuvrability in orbit, resembling a flying fuel tank equipped with thrusters and sensors. The startup focuses exclusively on US military contracts and has already secured Space Force business, including the Victus Haze responsive space demonstration launching later this year. True Anomaly has launched three Jackal test missions, with a fourth planned soon. The company has won contracts for the Pentagon's Golden Dome missile defence shield and appears well-positioned for the Space Force's RG-XX satellite inspection programme. Rogers compares space warfare's current state to air superiority in the 1930s, noting that "dogfighting in space doesn't quite have the drama of an aerial dogfight.
