The U.S. Space Force has provided $1.8 billion in additional funding to SpaceX and United Launch Alliance for national security launches. The service cited a significant growth in projected missions under the five-year agreements awarded in 2020 for the National Security Space Launch (NSSL) Phase 2 program. ULA will see its contract value rise by $1.1 billion, bringing its total to $4.5 billion over the five-year period. SpaceX's contract will increase by $661 million, reaching a new total of $4 billion. The original NSSL Phase 2 contracts included 34 launches with a 60-40 split in favor of ULA; the revisions bring the total launches to 49, with SpaceX conducting 54% because of Vulcan delays.
