The companies that jointly operate United Launch Alliance are in talks to sell their rocket business to Sierra Space, according to a report.

The deal with Lockheed Martin also includes an option to purchase an additional 20 fighter jets for the Hellenic Air Force.

United Launch Alliance’s Delta IV Heavy space launch vehicle will carry a classified payload from the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office.

The Persian Gulf island country is the first Gulf Cooperation Council member to operate the jets, Lockheed Martin said.

The manufacturer’s HEX testbed and demonstrator aircraft will help it evaluate a future family of large, self-flying VTOL models.

The aircraft is the first of Norway’s four C-130J-30s to be retrofitted by Lockheed Martin with Block 8.1 upgrades.

The country will receive its first Block 4 configuration fighter in 2031, Lockheed Martin said.

The aircraft features a new flight management system and improves interoperability across the fleet, according to Lockheed Martin.

The country is set to become the second in Europe to take delivery of the advanced fighters.

The experimental aircraft is expected to fly 1.4 times the speed of sound, or around 925 mph, according to NASA.
