Rocket Lab is protesting NASA's award of a Mars communications orbiter deal to Blue Origin. The contract is worth up to $700 million. In 2021, Blue Origin contested NASA's choice of SpaceX for a crewed lunar lander. That protest was connected to the lunar lander contract.
Now Blue Origin has secured the Mars orbiter contract. Rocket Lab is disputing the decision. Rocket Lab's complaint is the current dispute. This time, Blue Origin has won the award and Rocket Lab stands as the challenger.
