He will oversee growth efforts across the space electronics manufacturing company's government, civil and commercial businesses, SEAKR said Friday.

Tory Bruno, CEO of United Launch Alliance and a previous Wash100 awardee, said the establishment of U.S. Space Command has resulted in improvements in how the Department of Defense communicates and engages with industry, Defense News reported Wednesday.

United Launch Alliance has received a $98.5M contract to complete three Atlas V rocket launches for the U.S. Air Force and the National Reconnaissance Office. The company will continue and complete Atlas V launch activities that began under a previous contract, the Department of Defense said Tuesday.

The U.S. Air Force has awarded United Launch Alliance a $1.17B modification that increases the potential value of a contract for national security space launch support to $1.64B.

Sierra Nevada Corp. has tapped United Launch Alliance to provide launch services for its Dream Chaser spacecraft, which will perform six cargo resupply missions to the International Space Station for NASA.

The Department of Defense obligated more than $4B on “other transaction” agreements in the first seven months of fiscal year 2019 and could record $7B or more in OTA obligations by the end of FY 2019, Bloomberg Government reported Thursday.

United Launch Alliance will produce a Delta IV Heavy rocket to help the National Reconnaissance Office carry out NRO's Launch Mission Three under a five-year, $156.7M contract modification.
