The U.S. Space Force has awarded United Launch Alliance and SpaceX hundreds of millions of dollars to fly national security payloads to space in the coming years.
Why it matters: The money provided by these competitive government contracts keeps space companies in business and flying to orbit regularly.
Details: ULA will receive the bulk of the funds, with $337 million going to the company for two missions expected to launch in 2022.
