- Anduril’s design study contract, which also falls under REGAL, was awarded under a separate call for proposals called “Payload Reentry from Space Development and Demonstrations.”
- Cutting through the jargon, the proposal implies Anduril will study how to develop a reentry container that can carry between five tons to 10 tons of payload from Earth and back. The listing, which can be viewed on SAM.gov, emphasized that the container needs to work with different rocks and the study should propose a thermal protection system. Anduril’s “payload container,” as the listing calls it, should integrate multiple government-defined payloads and work across platforms.
- The contracts under the Air Force’s Rocket Cargo program are relatively small — Blue Origin’s comes in at $1.37 million and Anduril’s at $1 million. But they could be the first steps in revolutionizing how the Pentagon transports cargo.
