Contract Assets and Liabilities
Contract assets primarily relate to deferred contract costs for subcontracted launch services, as well as work completed not yet billed for performance obligations that are satisfied over time. Deferred contract costs and unbilled receivables are recorded contract assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contract assets related to deferred contract costs are amortized straight-line across the life of the long-term service arrangement. Contract assets related to work completed for performance obligations that are satisfied over time are transferred to receivables when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract liabilities relate to billings or consideration received in advance of performance (obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer) under the contract as well as provisions for loss contracts. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the performance obligation has been performed. Current deferred revenue and provisions for loss contracts are recorded in current contract liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Long-term deferred revenue and provisions for loss contracts are recorded in long-term contract liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Loss Contracts
Contract losses are a result of constraining variable consideration and estimated contract costs exceeding current contract price. The Company experiences favorable or unfavorable changes to contract losses from time to time due to changes in estimated contract costs and modifications that result in changes to contract price. We recorded (favorable) and unfavorable changes in net losses related to contracts with customers of $(8.2) million and $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
As of March 31, 2024, the status of these loss contracts was as follows:
•The first contract, for lunar payload services, became a loss contract in 2019 due to the constraint of variable consideration. The contract was successfully completed in February 2024. As a result of the successful mission, previously constrained variable consideration of $12.3 million as of December 31, 2023 was released and approximately $11.6 million was recognized as revenue during the first quarter of 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, changes in estimated contract costs resulted in (favorable) and unfavorable changes of $(6.7) million and $5.4 million contract loss, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the contract loss provision recorded in contract liabilities, current in our condensed consolidated balance sheets was $10 thousand.
•The second contract, for lunar payload services, became a loss contract in 2021 due to the constraint of variable consideration and estimated contract costs exceeding current contract price. Variable consideration has been constrained to $0 from a total potential amount of $9.4 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, changes in estimated contract costs resulted in an additional $1.1 million and $0.2 million in contract loss, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, and 2023, this contract was approximately 59% complete and 40% complete, respectively. The period of performance for this contract currently runs through June 2024 although we anticipate that the launch and post-launch services will occur in 2025 as a result of ongoing discussions with the customer and pending modifications to the contract. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the contract loss provision recorded in contract liabilities, current was $5.3 million and $7.4 million, respectively, and $3.6 million and zero, respectively, in contract liabilities, non-current in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
•The third contract, for lunar payload services, became a loss contract in 2022 due to the constraint of variable consideration and estimated contract costs exceeding current contract price. Variable consideration has been constrained to $0 from a total potential amount of $13.0 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, changes in estimated contract costs resulted in (favorable) and unfavorable changes of $(1.9) million and $0.9 million contract loss, respectively. As of March 31, 2024 this contract was approximately 85% complete. The period of performance for this contract currently runs through June 2024 although we anticipate that the launch and post-launch services will occur in late 2024 as a result of ongoing discussions with the customer and pending modifications to the contract. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the contract loss provision recorded in contract liabilities, current in our condensed consolidated balance sheets was $2.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively.
•The remaining loss contracts are individually and collectively immaterial.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the remaining transaction price of firm orders for which work has not been performed and excludes unexercised contract options. As of March 31, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining fixed price performance obligations was $65.8 million. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 50-55% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 9 months, 40-45% in 2025 and the remaining thereafter. Remaining performance obligations do not include variable consideration that was determined to be constrained as of March 31, 2024.
For time and materials contracts and cost reimbursable contracts, we have adopted the practical expedient that allows us to recognize revenue based on our right to invoice; therefore, we do not report unfulfilled performance obligations for time and materials agreements.
