Price, contract terms helped Maxar secure Gateway contract

While Maxar offered a firm fixed price of $375 million, other bids ranged from $565.9 million by Northrop to $768.8 million from SNC.

It also noted that Maxar planned to use a “currently unproven heavy-lift launch vehicle” for launching the PPE. The document didn’t identify the vehicle, but one of the Maxar’s partners is Blue Origin

The review did cite some weaknesses in the design, including “added complexity” in the vehicle’s electric propulsion system as well as adding a co-manifested lunar lander
