SpaceX has won yet another significant human space exploration contract with
NASA. This time, the company was awarded the sole, firm-fixed price $2.89 billion milestone-based Artemis program contract to send astronauts to the Moon on the SpaceX Starship rocket and to continue development of the first commercial human lunar lander. NASA announced the award on April 16.
The California-based, Elon Musk-founded launch company beat out rivals
Blue Origin and
Dynetics for the massive award. The three companies received nearly $1 billion in April 2020 to design and develop Human Landing Systems (HLS) for the Artemis program over a 10-month period.
The award was made under the Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships (NextSTEP-2) Appendix H Broad Agency Announcement (BAA). NASA said it intends to implement another competitive procurement for sustainable crewed lunar surface transportation services.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Dynetics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Leidos, has successfully completed the Preliminary Design Review (PDR) of the Dynetics Human Landing System (HLS) for NASA's Artemis Program, marking another critical milestone in human spaceflight. This review provided NASA with insight into the design of the human lander that Dynetics hopes will carry the first woman and the next man to the Moon.
"This review, a culmination of nine months of intense design and analysis, included a robust portfolio of development and risk reduction testing," said Robert Wright, Dynetics HLS program manager. "The PDR demonstrated that our team's preliminary lander design meets all the system requirements with acceptable risk while remaining within current cost and schedule constraints."
