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.
