Posted: Fri, Mar 12, 2021, 6:15 PM ET (2315 GMT)
The US Space Force awarded contracts to SpaceX and United Launch Alliance for four national security launches Tuesday. ULA received $224.2 million for two missions named USSF-112 and USSF-87, while SpaceX got $159.7 million for USSF-36 and NROL-69. The NROL-69 mission includes only basic launch services, as the NRO will fund mission integration separately. All four missions are scheduled for launch in 2023. This is the second set of awards for the National Security Space Launch Phase 2 program, after the initial awards in August when SpaceX and ULA won the contracts.
