In a request for proposals issued in July, the agency sought proposals for two specific types of missions. One, called Mission One, would be a dedicated launch of 30 kilograms of cubesats into a 500-kilometer mid-inclination orbit. The other, Mission Two, would launch 75 kilograms of cubesats into one 550-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit and 20 kilograms into a similar orbit, but in a plane separate from the first by at least 10 degrees.... Relativity received a $3.0 million contract, but did not disclose in a statement what class of mission its contract is for.
