Billions of dollars in contracts are at the finish line but there's a catch.
. In a meeting with reporters on Tuesday, Blue Origin laid out its view of needed adjustments to the government's approach when buying rocket launches.
Last month, the U.S. Air Force received proposals for Launch Service Procurement from four companies. LSP represents a new method for the Air Force to dole out nearly three dozen launch contracts, each on average likely worth over $100 million, with launches scheduled over a five year period . By choosing just two winners, the Air Force is limiting competition rather than aiding it, Blue Origin contends. Smith went so far as to use SpaceX as an example of how, when the company was allowed to compete, its bids helped lower the price of launches.
Blue Origin also provided a recently completed study on the market for large rockets like New Glenn, from an "independent, global management consulting firm."
