• Impulse Space and Relativity Federal join NSSL Phase 3 Lane 1 Contract.
• Companies will compete for task orders supporting national security launches.
• The contract is for lower-priority and less demanding launches.

This development may indicate the US Space Force's growing interest in leveraging innovative startups for national security launches, which could suggest a shift towards more agile and cost-effective solutions. The inclusion of Impulse Space and Relativity Federal may signal a broader trend of increased collaboration between the military and private space companies.
