SpaceX awarded $6.45B in Space Force contracts ahead of IPO

SpaceX won two U.S. Space Force contracts worth $6.45 billion in total.

The deals cover satellites for the Golden Dome defense system and a low-Earth-orbit communications network.

The awards boost SpaceX’s government-backed revenue as it prepares for a major IPO.

The filing also underscores how heavily the company still depends on federal spending.
