NASA is increasing its support of the Wallops Flight Facility on Virginia's Eastern Shore.
The space agency said the support contract with the Virginia Space Flight Authority has a potential value of approximately $43 million through May 2014.
The investment is part of an effort to enhance the Atlantic center to successfully launch small and medium class orbital missions for NASA, as well as other federal organizations and commercial launch providers.
Launches are planned in 2011 and 2012 at Wallops.
