The Space Force is now seeking to buy up to $30 billion in rocket launches
摘要
美国太空军将国家安全太空发射（NSSL）第三阶段合同最高价值从56亿美元大幅提升至170亿美元，增幅近三倍。此举反映五角大楼对军用卫星发射需求上升。NSSL项目分为两部分：Lane 1涵盖风险容忍度较高的任务，如搭载实验载荷的中型发射或共享发射任务；Lane 2包括高优先级战略任务，如大型间谍卫星和抗核加固通信卫星。太空系统司令部将负责从发射供应商池中为具体
It seems as though $5.6 billion wasn't enough. That was the news from the US Space Force on Friday, when military officials announced they were tripling the maximum value of one of the service's National Security Space Launch contracts to $17 billion.
The expansion of the Space Force's National Security Space Launch (NSSL) Phase 3 contract comes as the Pentagon signals rising demand for military satellite launches. The NSSL program is set up to allow Space Systems Command, which oversees the Space Force's launch program, to select from a pool of launch providers for individual missions to deliver the military's satellites to orbit.
The NSSL program has two parts. Lane 1 covers the Space Force's more risk-tolerant missions, such as medium-lift launches with experimental payloads or rideshare missions carrying satellites for the Pentagon's surveillance or data relay constellations. Lane 2 includes higher-priority strategic missions, like the government's largest and most expensive spy satellites, or radiation-hardened communications satellites designed to survive a nuclear war.
