LANTERIS SPACE LLC’s $139.8M NASA contract for the Restore-L mission is flagged as foreign-owned, which could face policy headwinds or protest risk in sensitive space programs, despite $69M already outlayed.

LANTERIS SPACE LLC’s foreign-owned status on a $139.8M NASA spacecraft bus and on-orbit refueling contract may trigger U.S. government scrutiny or policy changes, especially given the Restore-L mission’s strategic importance in space servicing.

LANTERIS SPACE LLC’s $139.8M firm-fixed-price contract spans 10+ years (2016-2027), transferring cost overrun risk to the contractor; while $69M is outlayed, remaining performance risk on the high-profile Restore-L mission persists.
