The two-minute video, titled “Cislunar Highway Patrol System (CHPS)” and uploaded by the US Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) this week, details the project.

Details on the planned project are sparse. The CHPS is a “spaceflight experiment designed to demonstrate foundational space domain awareness capabilities in the cislunar regime,” according to an extremely brief description on AFRL’s website.

The project will be a collaboration between a number of US military branches. The Air Force will work with other organizations and contractors to develop the CHPS satellite, while the US Space Command will figure out how to best make use of it...

Well, the CHiPs can now ticket China for littering, if that helps. ;)

Just be glad this has nothing to do with a certain planet.

At least no bell bottoms, keyboards with no letters, and one little printer on the wall.

Purple wigs win.

“Get those Eagles built.”

You said that and instantly a brilliant 70’s guitar riff started playing in my head!

They will use it for satellite camera coverage of Moon men, or Russians, or White Terrorists, or whatever the latest scapegoat is.

And they WILL find anything they want to.

At least we’ll be ready when someone constructs the cis-lunar highway.
