NASA Adds Relativity Space’s Terran R to Launch Services Contract

NASA has awarded a contract to Relativity Space Inc. for the Terran R launch service under its Launch Services Program II (NLS II) contract. The contract, which runs from June 2030 to December 2032, is a multi-year, open-ended agreement that allows NASA to use the Terran R service for future missions as needed. The NLS II contract includes an annual on-ramp provision, which enables new launch service providers to compete for future missions, and also permits existing contractors to introduce new launch vehicles not currently on their NLS II contracts.

The contract supports NASA's mission goals in human spaceflight, science, and research and technology. NASA's Launch Services Program Office at Kennedy Space Center in Florida manages the NLS II contracts.
