WASHINGTON — The U.S. Space Force awarded All Points Logistics a $250 million contract to expand satellite processing capacity at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California.
The award, announced July 29, calls for additional spacecraft processing capacity — facilities where satellites are prepared for launch — to be available at Vandenberg by 2029.
All Points is the third company to receive a contract under a Commercial Solutions Opening, or CSO, initiative to expand satellite processing capacity. The award is more than three times the size of the previous two contracts, making it the largest issued so far under the program.
The Space Force is investing in additional capacity as the Pentagon prepares to launch more missile-warning, communications, navigation and intelligence satellites, while commercial operators place greater demands on the launch ranges at Vandenberg and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
