Overview

• Space Systems Command issued seven fiscal 2026 NSSL Phase 3 Lane 2 task orders worth more than $1.1 billion, awarding five missions to SpaceX and two to United Launch Alliance.
• SpaceX’s assignments total $714 million and include USSF-206/WGS-12, one National Reconnaissance Office payload, and three undisclosed missions slated to launch from Florida beginning in 2027.
• ULA’s awards are valued at $428 million for the GPS IIIF-4 mission and one additional NRO payload, also targeting Florida launch complexes.
• Blue Origin received no task orders because New Glenn has not met the two-successful-orbital-flights requirement; its planned ESCAPADE launch this fall is intended as the next step toward eligibility.
• These awards sit within NSSL Phase 3 Lane 2, a roughly 54-mission, $13.7 billion portfolio with task orders assigned from 2025 to 2029 and previously projected shares of about $5.9 billion for SpaceX, $5.3 billion for ULA, and nearly $2.4 billion for Blue Origin.
