About the company
Stratolaunch, LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Mojave, California, designs and operates hypersonic flight-test platforms and stratospheric testbed aircraft for defense and civilian space agencies as a prime contractor on experimental aerospace development and research contracts. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) with no set-aside designations and competes in the full-and-open defense and federal R&D procurement environment.
Stratolaunch's capability portfolio centers on hypersonic flight testing, experimental aircraft operations, and advanced aerospace research platforms. The vendor's core asset is the Talon-A hypersonic aircraft, a 65-foot rocket-powered testbed designed for flight experiments at hypersonic speeds (Mach 5–10) and altitudes of 50,000–120,000 feet. Representative work includes a $28.1 million firm fixed-price definitive contract awarded by the Air Force on October 1, 2023, for the HERMES BAA TALON-A Campaign 2 program, extending through September 2026 and supporting hypersonic flight testing and research using the Talon-A platform; a $1.248 million purchase order from NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center, awarded August 22, 2025, for a flight-test-vehicle concept study under the Making Advancements in Commercial Hypersonics (MACH) program, exploring hypersonic flight-testing innovations and vehicle modifications for Mach 5–10 testing; and a $2.427 million firm fixed-price definitive contract from the Air Force awarded September 22, 2022, for flight experiments on the Talon-A hypersonic testbed through October 2024.
Customer concentration is balanced across defense and civilian agencies. The Office of the Secretary of Defense anchors the largest single award at $46.8 million (an Other Transaction IDV for Prototype Hypersonic Test Vehicle development, awarded June 10, 2025); the Department of the Air Force represents two awards totaling $30.5 million in combined potential value; the Missile Defense Agency holds four awards (combined potential value $25.1 million); and NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center represents one award at $1.2 million. These four distinct customer agencies account for 100% of recent awards and combined potential value.
Stratolaunch's vehicle portfolio reflects its position in defense experimental R&D. The vendor holds a seat on the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ (Missile Defense Agency, awarded December 29, 2025, with a multi-billion-dollar ceiling and an initial task order valued at $500); an Other Transaction IDV for Prototype Hypersonic Test Vehicle development (Office of the Secretary of Defense, $46.8 million ceiling, awarded June 10, 2025); and a multiple-award Other Transaction vehicle designated TALON-A (Missile Defense Agency, $24.7 million ceiling, awarded December 9, 2024, supporting hypersonic flight testing and data collection using the Talon-A platform). The vendor has issued one task order under SHIELD as of the source date.
Activity has accelerated in 2025 — one award per year in 2021–2024, followed by four awards in 2025 — with a total of eight awards carrying combined potential value of $103.7 million and combined obligations of $74 million (71% of potential value). Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $29.3 million and representing near-term recompete exposure. The vendor operates solely as a prime; Service Contract Inventory data shows one named-subcontractor engagement with 51.4 FTEs reported in FY2024, reflecting Stratolaunch's role as a performer on another prime's services contract rather than as a builder of subcontractor teams. The vendor's award portfolio concentrates in NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), with secondary activity under Department of Defense military R&D and basic-research PSC categories. Windwright, LLC, a named subsidiary, appears in the corporate structure but the source does not characterize its operational role or capability distinction.
