The Trump administration is set to relocate US Space Command from Colorado Springs, Colorado, to Huntsville, Alabama, reversing a 2023 Biden-era decision. The command, which oversees US military space operations and employs around 1,700 personnel, will take several years to move at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars, Reuters reported.
Huntsville, a hub for aerospace and defense with NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center and major contractors, has long sought the command. Analysts say the move may also carry political motivations, as Alabama strongly supports Trump while Colorado leans Democratic.
