Under the deal, SpaceX will receive $5.9 billion to fly 28 missions, ULA $5.3 billion to launch 19 and Blue Origin $2.3 billion to conduct seven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While ULA and SpaceX are both NSSL incumbents, Blue Origin is a new entrant to the program. Its New Glenn rocket has not yet completed the Space Force\u2019s certification process, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/space\/2025\/01\/16\/blue-origins-new-glenn-rocket-debuts\/\" target=\"_blank\">following its first flight in January<\/a>, it became eligible to compete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cToday\u2019s award culminates nearly three years of government and industry partnership to increase launch resiliency and capacity,\u201d Brig. Gen. Kristin Panzenhagen, program executive officer for assured access to space, said in a statement. \u201cThe result is assured access to space for our national security missions, which increases the military\u2019s readiness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Space Force expects to launch 84 missions between fiscal 2027 and 2032 \u2014 nearly double the number of missions it launched the previous five years. To meet that demand and create a path for more companies to compete, the service adopted a new strategy for this next batch of missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under that approach, the Space Force created two lanes in which companies can compete. Lane 1 is for commercial-like missions and is geared toward new providers, and Lane 2 \u2014 which was awarded Friday \u2014 is reserved for firms whose rockets meet more stringent security and performance requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SpaceX, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/space\/2025\/03\/26\/space-force-oks-vulcan-rocket-as-spacex-competitor-for-military-launch\/\" target=\"_blank\">ULA<\/a> and Blue Origin were also selected to compete for Lane 1 missions, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/space\/2025\/03\/27\/space-force-adds-rocket-lab-stoke-space-to-launch-vendor-pool\/\" target=\"_blank\">along with Stoke Space and Rocket Lab<\/a>, which are both developing new rockets slated to fly this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service expects to release its first request for proposals for Lane 1 launches later this spring and companies will have a chance to compete for additional missions in fiscal 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The awards are part of the
