NASA added Relativity Space's Terran R rocket to its NASA Launch Services II contract, making the vehicle eligible for future agency launch orders.
The NLS II program is a multiple-award contracting vehicle used by NASA to procure launch services for science, exploration and technology missions. Its on-ramp process allows new providers and new launch vehicles to be added over time.
The award does not assign Terran R a specific mission. It places the rocket among launch options NASA can consider for future requirements through the contract period.
