NASA awarded a contract to Elon Musk's SpaceX to provide launch services for the agency's near-Earth object surveyor mission.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration on Friday said the launch service will cost around $100 million.

The mission, aimed at detecting and observing asteroids and comets that could pose an impact threat to Earth, is targeted to launch no earlier than September 2027 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Florida.

The mission will conduct a five-year baseline survey to detect at least two-thirds of unknown near-Earth objects larger than 140 meters. Those could cause significant damage if they were to impact Earth, NASA said.
