Descripción:

"The Air Force awarded new contracts for launch services and launch capability to Boeing and Lockheed Martin in 2005 (Boeing and Lockheed Martin entered into a joint venture to create United Launch Alliance in 2006). The launch services contracts funded the activity to produce the launch vehicles and remained firm-fixed price. The launch capability contracts funded the activity to launch the rockets as well as maintain the launch infrastructure and used a cost-reimbursement arrangement. This contract structure provided some stability to the launch providers; however, the Air Force still ordered launch services annually with no long-term commitment."
