NASA LAUNCH SERVICES II CONTRACT

NLS II

LSP offers a mixed-fleet approach to support science, Earth-orbit, and interplanetary missions under the NASA Launch Services II (NLS II) contract. This provides multiple types of launch vehicles, makes sure the optimal one is chosen to support the spacecraft’s mission requirements, and ensures competitive prices prevail among the providers.

The NLS II contract is LSP’s primary method to acquire NASA-managed launch services for low risk-tolerant missions. NLS II enables higher levels of mission assurance through additional insight and approvals to the launch vehicle readiness. NLS II also offers the option to on-ramp new launch vehicles each year.
