NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans has millions of new federal dollars on the way.
President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" is providing the funds as part of nearly $10 billion in outlays.
Michoud will receive $30 million, and the John C. Stennis Space Center in Mississippi will get $120 million.
Michoud employs about 1,800 people to build rockets, and Stennis employs about 5,000 to test them.
The facilities are building spacecraft for Project Artemis, the next manned lunar program.
