Outpost holds a $1,250,000 Space GARAGE (Global Asset Resupply And Gear Enhancement) Direct To Phase 2 contract with the U.S. Air Force to develop the capability to use Ferryall and Carryall to warehouse cargo on orbit for just-in-time delivery anywhere on Earth.
Outpost Technologies Corporation will receive a $33.2 million, four-year Strategic Funding Increase (STRATFI) contract from AFWERX Air Force Ventures to develop and test a scalable heat shield, payload bus, and paragliding system for a Joint Precision Orbital Cargo (J-POC) space vehicle.
General Bernard Schriever commanded the US Air Force Air Research and Development Command at that time.
The US Air Force began a series of contractor studies in the late 1950s to explore various aspects related to space.
The study series by the Air Force was titled the System Requirement (SR) studies to prepare long-range plans.
ABL Space Systems received a $60,000,000 STRATFI award in March 2023 from the U.S. Space Force and U.S. Air Force to demonstrate tactically responsive capabilities, consisting of $30,000,000 in government funding and $30,000,000 in matching private investment.
The Department of the Air Force began offering the Open Topic SBIR/STTR program in 2018.
RFGeo® and RFIQ™ are data solutions provided by HawkEye 360 intended to support Department of the Air Force mission challenges.
HawkEye 360 has been selected by AFWERX for an SBIR Phase II contract focused on delivering RFGeo® and RFIQ™ data to address challenges in the Department of the Air Force.

The Department of the Air Force began offering the Open Topic SBIR/STTR program in 2018.
The Air Force Research Laboratory and AFWERX partnered to streamline the SBIR and STTR process by accelerating proposal-to-award timelines, expanding the pool of potential applicants, and implementing process improvements to reduce bureaucratic overhead in contract execution.
LinQuest supports the U.S. Space Force, U.S. Air Force, and other U.S. Department of Defense and intelligence agencies.
The High Thrust Research Facility at Edwards Air Force Base has tested programs including Big Dumb Booster, High Thrust Space Shuttle Alternative (1969–1971), and Super Hippo (1976–1979).
Very few photos of rocket launches from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California were released by the Air Force during the 1960s and 1970s.
The photos released by the Air Force were often of poor quality.
From 1959 to 1963, the Royal Air Force operated 60 Thor intermediate-range ballistic missiles as part of Project Emily.
The United States Air Force considered the Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile for launching satellites into orbit in the mid-1950s.
The Air Force utilized the Atlas for larger payloads, but the upgraded Thor was significantly cheaper and aimed to carry heavier payloads.
The Air Force developed the Thor intermediate range ballistic missile as a lower-cost alternative to the Atlas for launching payloads into orbit.
