- SpaceX received $1.6 billion in launch task orders for 18 Falcon 9 missions under the National Security Space Launch Phase 3 program.
- The launches, taking place from Vandenberg Space Force Base through 2027, support the Space Based Sensing and Targeting portfolio for military satellite constellations.
- SpaceX is also building two major satellite systems for the portfolio under separate multibillion-dollar contracts, including the Space Data Network Backbone and Airborne Moving Target Indicator.
