President Trump has proposed a $71 billion budget for the U.S. Space Force in fiscal year 2027, representing more than a doubling of the military branch's current funding levels. The request is part of a broader $1.5 trillion defense spending plan that signals a major expansion of America's military space capabilities.
The Space Force allocation includes more than $60 billion designated specifically for procurement, research and development activities. This substantial investment would fund new satellite systems, space-based sensors, launch capabilities, and advanced technologies critical to maintaining U.S. space superiority.
