NASA awarded a US$1.14 billion contract to the Boeing Company's Rocketdyne Propulsion and Power division for maintenance and support of the Space Shuttle's main engine during the ensuing five years. Under the terms of the contract, Rocketdyne was to provide flight and test engineering; engine refurbishment; and manufacture, assembly, test, and delivery of three additional Space Shuttle main engines. The contract also required Rocketdyne to provide engineering support for NASA's main engine facilities at NASA's KSC and SSC. From 1972 until the company signed the contract, Rocketdyne had assembled 106 main engines for NASA's Shuttles.
