The LTV contract has attracted several contenders, including startups such as Astrolab and Intuitive Machines, as well as established firms such as Leidos, Lockheed Martin, and Teledyne Brown.
Industry sources, who spoke anonymously due to the ongoing procurement, said that the delay could be related to the uncertainty over NASA's budget for the fiscal year 2024. They said that waiting until the end of March could give NASA a clearer picture of how much money it can allocate for the LTV project next year and whether it can afford to fund more than one contract.
NASA and some companies have argued that the services approach benefits both parties, as it saves NASA money and gives the companies more flexibility and opportunities to find non-NASA customers. However, only some agree with this view.
