The reason - these are military satellites and the information about them is sensitive

Due to the sensitivity of the information, NASA announced last Friday that it will not provide a report on the operation that failed to bring two spacecraft together in a maneuver that was supposed to be the first of its kind done without human intervention.
NASA only plans to issue a brief statement explaining why the DART (Demonstration for Autonomous Rendezvous Technology) spacecraft did not complete its mission last year, but a 70-page report containing a detailed report was not released due to the intervention of the International Arms Control Committee. This was stated by the agency's spokesman, Michael Braukos.
The spacecraft was launched from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in April 2005, and was supposed to perform a demonstration of an encounter with another satellite autonomously. The spacecraft missed the Pentagon's satellite by about 100 meters.
The operation ended before its time, when the spacecraft failed to perform several automatic tasks, including orbiting the satellite and approaching it. The operation, which costs 110 million dollars, is designed to test whether robotic spacecraft are capable of performing the task that astronauts have so far performed. Such progress could lead to robotic delivery of cargo to the space station, as well as automatic docking between spacecraft for repairs.
NASA does not admit this, but the assessment is also that this is an attempt to reach the enemy's satellites, for military purposes.
Initial analysis showed that DART was suffering from fuel problems, but the engineers did not discover the leak. The mission manager also said that the spacecraft was experiencing navigational problems with its computers. DART was managed by NASA's Marshall Space Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
According to the NASA website, DART is a spacecraft designed to test the technologies needed to locate and rendezvous with other spacecraft. The uniqueness of the mission is that all operations are supposed to be autonomous without astronauts in it and also without navigators in the control room, except for computers that are programmed to perform these functions. The spacecraft was launched by Orbital Science Corp. of Dulles, Virginia. And she launched a Pegosus missile that was fired from an airplane. This was supposed to be an important step on the way to preparing autonomous rendezvous capabilities for the US.
