The U.S. military plans to buy even more rocket launches from companies in the coming years than previously expected.

Space Force will assign 60% and 40% of 51 missions to the top two bidders, respectively, and the remaining seven launches will go to the third-place bidder.

"We're hoping that it's not just ULA, SpaceX and Blue Origin competing for that, as there are others who have messaged interest in the past," Col. Chad Melone, the chief of Space Systems Command's Launch Procurement and Integration division, said during the briefing.Space Force is introducing an annual Oct. 1 deadline for assigning missions to companies that have won a contract.

Space Force aims to finalize its request for bidders by September and then have all the proposals in by December, to then award the contracts in October 2024.
