Impulse Space and Relativity Federal join Space Force launch provider pool
Impulse Space and Relativity Federal have been added to the Space Force's National Security Space Launch program as potential vendors under the Phase 3 Lane 1 program. This allows them to compete for launch missions that don't require the same no-risk standards as Lane 2 launches. The Space Force previously awarded contracts worth up to $5.6 billion in 2024 to Blue Origin, SpaceX, and United Launch Alliance, with Rocket Lab and Stoke also in the pool.
