What the model surfaced from this award
Production and operations & maintenance for 35 Space Shuttle external tanks under a contract that began in 2000.
This represents sustained investment in Space Shuttle infrastructure; the 2026 obligation continues support for a program that ended in 2011, likely for legacy fleet maintenance or historical documentation.
