Altos funcionarios militares de EE. UU. anunciaron planes para preparar a sus fuerzas para misiones que van desde el lecho marino hasta la región cislunar, después de confirmar el despliegue de armas de control espacial en órbita; funcionarios chinos advirtieron que esa medida podría militarizar el espacio. El anuncio del despliegue fue realizado por el secretario de la Fuerza Aérea, Troy Meek, quien declaró en una conferencia que la Fuerza Espacial ha puesto en órbita armas de control espacial y presentó futuros programas de interceptores y satélites.

La Fuerza Espacial de EE. UU. confirmó posteriormente que dichas armas pueden operar tanto en defensa como en ofensiva, citando amenazas crecientes de China y Rusia. La declaración generó cautelas de representantes chinos y rusos sobre el riesgo de una carrera armamentista en el espacio.
