EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – The United States Space Force (USSF)’s Space Systems Command (SSC) took the next step in advancing its ability to deliver fast and more agile in-orbit response capabilities to warfighters. The Command awarded a launch service contract to Firefly Aerospace for $21.81 million for VICTUS SOL, the USSF’s newest Tactically Responsive Space (TacRS) mission.
SSC’s Space Safari program office is the end-to-end mission lead for the TacRS mission, and SSC’s Small Launch and Targets division within the Assured Access to Space enterprise is responsible for procuring and executing the VICTUS SOL launch service using the Orbital Services Program (OSP)-4 contract. OSP-4 provides dedicated and primary launch services to the DoD and other Government agencies. Space Safari will oversee procurement of the VICTUS SOL space and ground segments, end-to-end integration, and operational support.
