 * The U.S. Space Force launched a military satellite, called Odyssey, into space on Sunday as part of its new, secret special projects unit 

 * The mission's goal was to condense the time it takes to develop and execute a launch from a few years to four months 

 * Odyssey is a surveillance satellite used to detect foreign objects in space, like floating debris 

 * It launched inside of a Northrop Grumman Pegasus rocket that was fixed to the underbelly of a 'Stargazer' L-1011 carrier jet 

The U.S. Space Force successfully launched into orbit a 'space domain awareness' military satellite that it designed and built in less than a year, under a significantly tighter time frame than what's usual for space launches. 

The satellite, dubbed Odyssey, is the first launch of the Space Force's secret, special projects unit. 

Odyssey hitched a ride inside a Northrop Grumman Pegasus rocket fixed to the bottom of a modified 'Stargazer' L-1011 carrier jet and launched from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base early Sunday morning. 

The hush-hush mission is the Space Force's first trial with condensing the timeline it typically takes to launch vehicles into space.
