NASA adds Blue Origin New Glenn 9x4 to NLS II contract
NASA said on September 29 it added Blue Origin's New Glenn 9x4 launch service to the NASA Launch Services II contract under the annual on-ramp clause, making that configuration eligible to compete for future missions. The addition is not a mission award; New Glenn 7x2 is already on NLS II. NASA described NLS II as multiple-award IDIQ contracts with ordering through June 2030 and performance through December 2032.
