Description
Description — Rocket Systems Launch Program
The Rocket Systems Launch Program (RSLP) procures small launch services to deliver affordable, flexible spacelift for small payloads. The small launch program complements the National Security Space Launch (NSSL) program with multiple options to acquire dedicated spacelift and rideshare services for developmental, responsive, demonstration, and small operational space vehicles. The Spacelift Capability Production Document approved 31 May 2016 supports the requirement for small spacelift capability. No FY 2026 funds or beyond are requested. RSLP continues to fly previously procured Space Force-funded missions and supports new and existing missions for various agencies funded by each mission partner on a reimbursable basis in conjunction with direct funding under APPN 3620, RDT&E, Space Force, R-1 Line #50, Rocket Systems Launch Program (RSLP). This program does not require and does not include advance procurement or initial spares. Flyaway Unit Cost is not applicable and Weapon System Unit Cost are not representative due to the mix of vehicles in the program. RSLP procures launch services and is not a weapon system. The program provides launch capacity for the Government National Launch Forecast requirements, but does not take ownership of any specific launch vehicle. The requirements for small launch services are derived from multiple spacecraft requirements. Funding for this exhibit is contained in PE 1206860SF. .
