NASA Re-Announces Something That It Already Announced 2 Weeks Ago

NASA Re-Announces Something That It Already Announced 2 Weeks Ago

NASA Awards Venture Class Launch Services Contracts for CubeSat Satellites
“The three companies selected to provide these new commercial launch capabilities, and the value of their firm fixed-price contracts, are:
– Firefly Space Systems Inc. of Cedar Park, Texas, $5.5 million
– Rocket Lab USA Inc. of Los Angeles, $6.9 million
– Virgin Galactic LLC of Long Beach, California, $4.7 million”

Keith’s note: This is really strange. NASA KSC PAO is having a press event today – one they announced last week – to announce the selection of these three companies when in fact, as noted on NASAWatch on 7 October these awards were already announced and posted on NASA’s procurement website on 1 October. So why wait 2 weeks to announce something that has already been announced?
