SpaceX has secured $733.5 million in contracts for nine launches under the National Security Space Launch (NSSL) Phase 3 Lane 1 program, which includes seven missions for the Space Development Agency and two for the National Reconnaissance Office, set for late 2025 and 2026. The NSSL Phase 3 Lane 1 program, valued at an estimated $5.6 billion over five years, aims to expedite launch services for risk-tolerant payloads, enhancing military communications and intelligence capabilities. At least 30 missions are projected during the initial five-year period, with opportunities for emerging launch providers to participate.
United Launch Alliance (ULA) is set for the Cert-2 launch of its Vulcan Centaur rocket on October 4, following a successful wet dress rehearsal. This mission aims to gather data for certification by the U.S. Space Force, paving the way for increased launch activity in 2025, including missions for Amazon's Project Kuiper. ULA has invested over $1 billion in infrastructure for Vulcan, with plans for future enhancements to the Centaur upper stage to extend its operational capabilities in space.
Seems like the connection with the server has been lost. It can be due to poor or broken network. Please hang on while we're trying to reconnect...
Oh snap! Failed to reconnect with the server. This is typically caused by a longer network outage, or if the server has been taken down. You can try to reconnect, but if that does not work, you need to reload the page.
Oh man! The server rejected the attempt to reconnect. The only option now is to reload the page, but be prepared that it won't work, since this is typically caused by a failure on the server.
