SpaceX Just Won NASA Contract To Launch Next Telescope, Humiliated Blue Origin…
SpaceX is dominating the aerospace industry with its impressive capabilities, making it NASA’s top choice for critical missions. In stark contrast, Blue Origin, a company known for its frequent lawsuits rather than substantial contributions, continues to lag behind. Despite constant legal battles with Blue Origin, including the recent Starship Florida project dispute, SpaceX continues to develop and secure valuable NASA contracts. Recently, SpaceX received another significant contract, rendering Blue Origin’s attempts to hinder its progress almost laughable.
Let’s delve into these developments on today’s episode of Great SpaceX.
SpaceX Just Won NASA Contract To Launch Next Telescope, Humiliated Blue Origin…
In recent days, we have been discussing the $843 million contract NASA awarded to SpaceX to de-orbit the ISS. This contract marks one of SpaceX’s biggest victories over Blue Origin in recent years.
But SpaceX didn’t stop there. They landed another significant win over Blue Origin with the NASA telescope launch contract. On July 2, NASA selected SpaceX to provide launch services for the COSI (Compton Spectrometer and Imager) mission. This contract, valued at $69 million, covers launch services and other mission-related costs. The mission is scheduled for August 2027 and will be carried out by a SpaceX Falcon 9.
You might think the contract value isn’t high, but its importance is immense.
SpaceX Just Won NASA Contract To Launch Next Telescope, Humiliated Blue Origin…NASA’s COSI mission is a collaboration between the University of California, Berkeley’s Space Sciences Laboratory, the University of California, San Diego, the Naval Research Laboratory, NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, and Northrop Grumman. This mission will delve into the origins of the Milky Way’s galactic positrons, uncover nucleosynthesis sites in our galaxy, study gamma-ray polarization, and identify counterparts to multi-messenger sources. The compact Compton telescope, with its enhanced sensitivity, spectral resolution, angular resolution, and sky coverage, promises groundbreaking science.
