Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Destination Request for Information

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is seeking information from commercial providers and industry to help shape the future acquisition strategy for Commercial LEO Destinations. The goal is to maintain America's presence in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and to support the growth of a commercial space economy. NASA is considering two options for transitioning from the International Space Station (ISS) to a commercial space station: a direct to commercial station approach and an incrementally phased transition. The agency is seeking input on various aspects of the commercial market, including key market demand areas, technical approaches, procurement strategies, and supply chain management. The information gathered will be used solely for internal NASA planning purposes and will not be shared publicly. Some key points to consider include: • The commercial market for LEO destinations is still in its early stages, and NASA is seeking input on how to stimulate growth and demand. • The agency is considering two options for transitioning from ISS to a commercial space station: a direct to commercial station approach and an incrementally phased transition. • NASA is seeking input on various aspects of the commercial market, including key market demand areas, technical approaches, procurement strategies, and supply chain management. • The information gathered will be used solely for internal NASA planning purposes and will not be shared publicly.
