Rocket Lab is protesting NASA's award of a Mars communications orbiter contract to Blue Origin. The contract is worth up to $700 million. In 2021, Blue Origin fought NASA's selection of SpaceX for a crewed lunar lander. That dispute was over the lunar lander contract.
Now Blue Origin has secured the Mars orbiter deal. Rocket Lab is contesting the decision. Rocket Lab's complaint is the latest dispute. This time, Blue Origin is the winning side and Rocket Lab is the one protesting.
