About this award
Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) was awarded a delivery order on April 24, 2025, under the National Security Space Launch (NSSL) Phase 3 Lane 2 program administered by the Space and Missile Systems Center, a component of the U.S. Air Force Space Command. This Firm Fixed Price delivery order carries a ceiling value of $150.1 million and is scheduled for completion by December 30, 2026. The contract is not set-aside for small businesses, reflecting SpaceX's specialized capabilities in national security space launch operations. Work will be performed at SpaceX's primary facility in Hawthorne, California. This delivery order draws from SpaceX's existing $11.8 billion NSSL Phase 3 Lane 2 Indefinite Delivery Vehicle, which provides the Space and Missile Systems Center and Space Systems Command with flexible procurement authority for launch services, mission-unique services, launch support, and early integration studies through April 2033.
Under this delivery order, SpaceX will continue providing critical national security launch services utilizing its Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rocket systems to deploy Department of Defense and intelligence community payloads into orbit. The NSSL Phase 3 program ensures assured access to space for national security missions through multiple competitive lanes, with SpaceX serving as one of two primary launch service providers. This delivery order represents a continuation of SpaceX's longstanding role as a cornerstone contractor for the federal government's space lift requirements, complementing its broader portfolio of space transportation services, satellite broadband connectivity through Starlink, and spacecraft processing operations.
