Surely the US has a satellite network they clould be making use off? Maybe there's political reasons why they cant be given access.

The US does have its own satellite network, but it's unlikely they'd let anyone else use it, even allies, because of the risk of leaking information, or even because it would let other people derive more information about its capabilities and limits.
