The United States Space Force has awarded a massive contract to SpaceX, valued at $5.6 billion over five years, for the launch of national security space missions. This significant development is part of the National security Space Launch Phase 3 Lane 1 program, which will see SpaceX launching seven missions for the Space Development Agency and one for the National Reconnaissance Office. These missions are expected to utilize Falcon 9 rockets and take place no earlier than 2026.
