SpaceX won most of the first year of launches assigned under the new National Security Space Launch (NSSL) contract. SpaceX received seven of the nine launches in fiscal year 2025 for the NSSL Phase 3 Lane 2 contracts awarded last week, with ULA getting the other two. Industry sources said two of the SpaceX launches, a pair of NRO missions, werre originally assigned to ULA but moved to SpaceX due to ongoing construction and upgrades at ULA's West Coast launch facility for its Vulcan rocket. The Space Force says that ULA launch site is not yet certified. The NSSL Phase 3 Lane 2 contracts includes 54 launches over five years for SpaceX, ULA and Blue Origin.
