UK Successfully Launches First Earth-Imaging Military Satellite

Tyche will enhance military operations, monitor environmental disasters, and support scientific innovation.

Tyche, the UK's first military satellite, was launched from California on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
The satellite will capture daytime images and videos to aid military and governmental tasks.
Developed under a £22 million contract, Tyche supports 100 high-skilled jobs in the UK.
This launch is part of a broader UK space-based Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance programme.
Officials hail the launch as a significant achievement for UK Space Command and the defence sector.
