Air Products announces supply contracts from NASA totaling more than $130M

Air Products announced it recently was awarded several supply contracts from NASA totaling more than $130M to provide liquid hydrogen for several NASA locations including the Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, and other NASA facilities. "Under one public contract, Air Products will supply NASA liquid hydrogen to support operations at the Kennedy Space Center and nearby Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The multi-year contract, which is already in effect, includes a maximum value of approximately $75M. NASA also awarded Air Products a separate public contract, valued at a maximum value of over $57M to supply liquid hydrogen to facilities across the agency including NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, and the Stennis Space Center in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. NASA uses liquid hydrogen, combined with liquid oxygen, as fuel in cryogenic rocket engines, and hydrogen’s unique properties support the development of aeronautics," the company stated.
