Blue Origin, SpaceX, and ULA Secure $5.6 Billion in Pentagon Launch Contracts

The U.S. Space Force selects three companies to compete for national security space missions over the next five years.

Blue Origin joins SpaceX and ULA in the National Security Space Launch Phase 3 program.
The contracts cover at least 30 missions from 2025 to 2029, with a focus on low-Earth orbit launches.
The selection aims to increase competition and reduce reliance on a few providers.
Emerging companies may join the program in future phases as their capabilities mature.
Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket is set for its first test flight later this year.
