How Utah is helping us go back to the moon
I decided to explore my backyard more and went to the Rocket Garden in Promontory, UT. It was just announced that NASA awarded Northrop Grumman Corporation a booster production and operations contract valued up to $3.19 billion to support the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket through 2031.
The award includes follow-on production and flight sets for Artemis IV through Artemis VIII, as well as production of the Booster Obsolescence and Life Extension (BOLE) boosters for Artemis IX.
