And the US military is widening the field for Space Force mission contracts.
Meaning more companies have a chance to secure billions in potential contracts.
Earlier this year,
Space Force started the process of buying five years worth of rocket launches.
Now it's increasing that number.
The US military is quickly growing its presence in space and it's 2020 phase two,
it launched around 36 missions. Its phase three, it's planning around 90 missions.
Now during the Space Force Industry day event.
Back in February, 22 companies showed up looking for those contracts.
