Public records show the NRO awarded SpaceX a classified $1.8B contract in 2021 for the Starshield spy satellite constellation, not publicly acknowledged until 2024. The agency completed its financial audit in FY2014 while other intelligence agencies received disclaimers of opinion. A Senate committee noted a satellite program whose costs ballooned from $5B to $9.5B with daylight-only operational limits.
