HOUSTON, June 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- KBR (NYSE: KBR) announced today it has been awarded a $570.3 million contract by NASA to develop and execute spaceflight operations at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. With this award, KBR has earned a sizeable footprint at Marshall providing highly technical, mission-focused, high-impact services.

The company's work will bolster numerous NASA programs, payload developers, educational institutions, international partner space agencies and commercial partners.
