Only #SpaceX’s #Falcon9 and #FalconHeavy, and #ULA’s #Vulcan rocket are certified for Lane 2 missions. There are more launch companies qualified for Lane 1 contracts.

In April, Space Systems Command said it had identified 25 additional Lane 2 missions on top of the 54 included in the original contract just one year before. Now, the #SpaceForce is tripling 📈 the maximum value for the Lane 1 contract.

Flight brings people together, #FalconHeavy tears them apart.

Flight brings people together, #FalconHeavy tears them apart.

Flight is on the surface, #FalconHeavy is at the core.

Neither flight without #FalconHeavy nor #FalconHeavy without flight.

Flight is poetry, #FalconHeavy is prose.
