Blackjack is a constellation of small American surveillance satellites that started to be launched in 2023. The Blackjack program was started by DARPA in 2017, with contracts awarded in 2020. The Blackjack constellation will replace or complement larger systems such as Misty and KH-11. These new orbiters will be cheaper, more numerous and with shorter lifespans than existing systems.
