SPACE NEWS - The U.S. Space Force has awarded Blue Origin a $78.2 million contract to expand satellite processing capacity at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
The three-year agreement, announced Oct. 7, was secured through a “Commercial Solutions Opening” (CSO) competition — a procurement method the Space Force uses to attract private-sector innovation and share project costs with commercial partners.
Building ground infrastructure at the nation’s busiest spaceport is needed to keep up with surging launch demand, officials said.
Note: Blue Origin is headquartered in Kent.
