Description:

The National Space Transportation Policy, signed by President Clinton on August 5, 1994, gave the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) responsibility for reusable launch vehicle development, while tasking the Department of Defense (DoD) with improving expendable launch vehicles (ELV) and the nation's existing launch infrastructure. This goal resulted in the initiation of the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) program. Under this program DoD was to partner with industry to develop a national launch capability to satisfy both government and commercial payload requirements and reduce the cost of space access by at least 25 percent. Four companies initially competed for DoD contracts to develop these vehicles and ultimately, Lockheed Martin Corporation and The Boeing Company were awarded EELV production and service contracts for their respective Atlas 5 and Delta 4 vehicles.
