There were also two other award winners in this round. The three award winners are:

Nanoracks ($160 million)
Blue Origin ($130 million)
Northrop Grumman ($125.6 million)


The companies will be able to use this money to further advance their designs in hope of future awards from NASA.

"The largest award, at $160 million, went to a team led by Nanoracks and includes Voyager Space and Lockheed Martin. Those companies announced a space station concept called Starlab Oct. 21 that could be ready as soon as 2027."
