United Space Alliance
The United Space Alliance ( USA ) was a joint venture of the companies Boeing and Lockheed Martin for the implementation of US space activities on behalf of NASA .

The United Space Alliance was thus NASA's main industrial partner.
history
In the mid-1990s, NASA was dissatisfied with the fact that its space activities were being carried out by multiple subcontractors. Since they wanted a central point of contact, Lockheed Martin and Rockwell International responded and founded the United Space Alliance. After taking over the space division of Rockwell by Boeing Boeing took over Rockwell share.
The company was dissolved on December 20, 2019.
