The US Space Force’s Space Systems Command issued Launch Service Task Orders (LSTOs) totalling $733,566,001 to SpaceX under the “National Security Space Launch Phase 3 Lane 1.”

“In this era of Great Power Competition, it is imperative to not leave capability on the ground,” said Brigadier Gen Kristin Panzenhagen, programme executive officer for Assured Access to Space.

“The Phase 3 Lane 1 construct allows us to execute launch services more quickly for the more risk-tolerant payloads, putting more capabilities on orbit faster in order to support national security,” he said in a statement.

The Space Force’s award to SpaceX includes seven launches for the Space Development Agency and one for the National Reconnaissance Office, to occur no earlier than 2026.

“We are excited to kick off our innovative NSSL Phase 3 Lane 1 effort with two task orders that support critical NRO and SDA missions,” said Lt Col Douglas Downs, SSC’s materiel leader for Space Launch Procurement.

“Industry stepped up to the plate and delivered on this competition. Our innovative dual-lane strategy is enabling a streamlined process from mission acquisition to launch, getting our assets on orbit for our warfighters’ benefit more quickly. Plus, with the ability to on-ramp new providers and systems annually, we expect to see increasing competition and diversity,” Downs mentioned.

The Phase 3 Lane 1 award period is from fiscal year 2025 to fiscal year 2029, with the potential for a five-year extension.

Space Systems Command is the US Space Force’s field command responsible for acquiring and delivering resilient war fighting capabilities to protect the nation’s strategic advantage in, from, and to space.

SSC manages a $15.6 billion space acquisition budget for the Department of Defence, and works in partnership with joint forces, industry, government agencies, and academic organisations.

Mandatory security checks were being carried out. Once these checks are completed, the flight will continue its journey to London.

"Flight UK17 from Delhi to London (DEL-LHR) has been diverted to Frankfurt (FRA) and is expected to arrive in Frankfurt at 2110 hours LT (Local Time). Please stay tuned for further updates," the airline said in a post on the social media platform, X.

The airline's spokesperson stated that Vistara flight UK17, operating from Delhi to London October 18, 2024, received a security threat via social media. 

Following established protocols, the relevant authorities were notified, and the flight was diverted to Frankfurt as a precautionary measure.

"In line with the protocol, all relevant authorities were immediately informed and as a precautionary measure, the pilots decided to divert the flight to Frankfurt," the spokesperson said.

An informed official confirmed that the threat involved a bomb scare.

Meanwhile, Akasa Air reported that its flight QP 1366, scheduled from Bengaluru to Mumbai Friday, received a security alert just before takeoff. In compliance with safety protocols, all passengers were deplaned while local authorities conducted necessary procedures. The airline, in a post on X, apologised for the inconvenience caused.

Recently, almost 40 flights operated by Indian airlines have been subjected to bomb threats, all of which were later determined to be frauds. 

In response, the Civil Aviation Ministry is considering stricter regulations, including placing individuals responsible for hoax bomb threats on a no-fly list.
