NASA has expanded its launch services capabilities by incorporating Blue Origin's New Glenn 9×4 launch service into its NASA Launch Services II contract, as per the contract's on-ramp clause. This addition allows NASA's Launch Services Program Office to utilize the New Glenn 9×4 for future missions. The NLS II contracts, which are multiple-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity agreements, are set to run through June 2030 with a performance period extending to December 2032.
These contracts, which include a provision for annual opportunities to introduce new launch service providers, support NASA's various mission directorates, including Human Spaceflight, Science, and Research and Technology. NASA's Launch Services Program Office, based at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, oversees these contracts.
The New Glenn 9×4 is also available for use by other government agencies, such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. For further information, visit NASA's official website.
