How much did the military spend yesterday? $3.1 billion
Yesterday's big winner, with a contract worth just shy of a billion dollars, was United Launch Services for the development of a Launch System Prototype for the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle Program. Two other companies, Orbital Sciences Corporation and Blue Origin, were awarded similar contracts for the same launch program. According to the Defense Department report, all three contracts are “part of a portfolio of three agreements that leverage commercial launch solutions in order to have at least two domestic, commercial launch service providers that meet National Security Space requirements.”
