All NASA Contracts

3 total filings analysed

Executive Summary

Three NASA contracts totaling $229M in obligations signal strong bullish momentum for space vehicle and support services providers through 2028, dominated by S.P. Korolev Energia ($191M, 83% of total) for ISS hardware. Small U.S. firms A-P-T Research and NOVA Space Solutions secure set-aside awards for engineering and facilities services, highlighting revenue visibility amid $110M+ in outlays to date. Unexercised options worth $147M offer upside, though fixed-price structures and low initial outlays flag execution risks.

  • Execution[HIGH RISK]
