Parsons Awarded $30M Contract to Enhance Support to DARPA Blackjack Space Mission

CHANTILLY, Va., Dec. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) has been awarded a $30 million contract, along with a novation to the U.S. Space Development Agency (SDA), to enhance a previously awarded $11 million contract from 2021 by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for the Blackjack flight demonstration. This substantial expansion underscores Parsons' dedication to delivering innovative and effective solutions for defense clients in the space sector.

“Parsons is a leader in space domain innovation.

We look forward to supporting SDA’s objectives as we continue to advance space operations.”

With this additional funding, Parsons will consolidate Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) spacecraft support and deliver comprehensive Blackjack mission operations through our common ground element at the Parsons Space Operations Center.
