United Launch Alliance inked a $96 million deal to build and launch an Atlas 5 rocket for a future mission to carry a spy satellite from Vandenberg Air Force Base, officials announced Thursday.
The rocket will fly from Space Launch Complex-3 at Vandenberg; however, the launch date hasnt been determined, officials said.
The customer is the National Reconnaissance Office, a joint agency made up of CIA, other intelligence agencies and the Defence Department. NRO builds and operates satellites and other clandestine spacecraft.
