NASA Selects International Space Station US Deorbit Vehicle

Posted by JD (aka Jason Dean) Jun 28 '24, 14:08

NASA announced SpaceX has been selected to develop and deliver the U.S. Deorbit Vehicle that will provide the capability to deorbit the space station and ensure avoidance of risk to populated areas.

The single-award contract has a total potential value of $843 million.

The launch service for the U.S. Deorbit Vehicle will be a future procurement.

Sooooo... ULA and ESA still have a chance to supply the booster? Oh, and I guess Blue Origin might have their act together by then?
