NASA’s reformulation of the Artemis campaign to meet the Administration’s national space policy goals resulted in the termination or repurposing of Artemis-related systems including the Exploration Upper Stage, Universal Stage Adapter, Mobile Launcher 2, and Gateway Habitation and Logistics Outpost. The combined contract value of these efforts increased from $2.8 billion to $5.9 billion, with delivery dates extended by up to 7 years. We project, if NASA allowed work to continue to completion, these systems would have cost more and taken longer to complete.
