The origin of the blue and Ardulil has landed a new study contract with US Air Force to explore technology, including rockets, can move military cargo around the world.
Contracts below the air rocket cargo program is quite small – the blue origin is available at $ 1.37 million and Ardull for $ 1 million. But they can be the first step in the revolution of the Pentagon Transports Cargo. The contract learned like this is also a strong signal for players to compete for larger funds.
The contract of anndil especially fun and showing the start of defense is to make foray into a new business line.
Two of the two US air research expension for global logistics programs (Reg). Blue origins do not respond to comment requests to comment, and antili spegles direct techcrunch to afrl.
Registered as an arm experiment from a larger rocket cargo program that is a larger rocket cargo, which focuses on “delivery as a service” through transport orbits. Aircraft wants to take the capabilities over the service type contract, equivalent to the Maskata Dod Community Community Community. The purpose of the regal program is to prove commercial rockets, can be re-used, and cargo transportation system to activate the cinema in the past for less than one hour.
While there is no public information on the scope of regal or timeline, demand the award-in-law containing some interesting information.
Blue contract, according to the direct list of immediate reward, which is for analysis of the technology that can support “material transport material points.” The location of the registered performance is the Merritt Island, Florida, the blue house on the coast of space and where developing a heavy glenn rocket.
Dephul design studies contract, which is also in the regal, awarded on a separate phone for a proposal called “the shields from the development of space and demonstration.”

Cutting through Jargon, the proposal showed an Andurl will learn about developing a reentry artistic that can be taken between 5 tonnes to 10 tons of the earth and return. List, which you can see Sam.govInserted that the container must be worked with various stones and learning should propose the thermal protection system. “Cart” Bariyil’s payment, “as a list of lists, must join various government and work on the platform.
Reentry is a very famous problem to solve space space. Developing material that can reboot the atmospheric recostry, and a container that cannot damage the consentation of participating, which is a challenge.

But generally, the number of vendors that can send this capability is limited.
News from two contracts, which have not been reported, involves their own lab lab contracts are declared before this year. The contract clearly has a flight demonstration measure, even when AFR does not launch other details about the award, as the amount is.
If the cargo service adult rocket, the Pentagon can buy “delivery as a service,” With much time riding a commercial heavy rocket and returned to the earth for fast. Long-term, afrl says that the program may include human point-point transport.
