Reports emerged last month that the Musk-owned space launch company was building a network of spy satellites as part of a classified contract with an unnamed US intelligence agency.
The National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) is said to have awarded a $1.8 billion contract to SpaceX for the secret project in 2021.
Now Reuters claims the company is working with defense contractor Northrop Grumman as part of a program intended to help US authorities better track military and intelligence targets from low Earth orbit.
