NASA has added
Lockheed Martin's Athena 2 launch vehicle to the list of  vehicles
which can be procured under NASA Launch Services (NLS)
indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts. Neither a
specific payload nor mission have been assigned to the Athena 2
under the contract. Lockheed Martin is continuing to seek additional
commercial flights for Athena.
The
NLS procurement calls for fixed-price delivery of launch services
onboard a series of specific launch vehicles. The NASA Launch
Services contract calls for launching payloads that weigh 1500 kg
(3300 lbm) or heavier to a 200 km (108 nmi) high circular orbit. In
addition to the Athena 2, the vehicles include Boeing's Delta 2,
Delta 3 and Delta 4 as well as Lockheed Martin's Atlas 2, Atlas 3
and Atlas 5.
