NASA Seeks US Industry Plans for Commercial Space Stations
NASA has formally asked American companies to submit plans for commercial space stations, as the agency prepares for the retirement of the International Space Station and a shift toward privately operated orbital outposts. The move signals NASA's intent to become a customer of commercial low-Earth-orbit destinations rather than an operator, and industry responses will shape the future of US human spaceflight in orbit.
Why now: NASA is officially beginning the transition from the ISS to commercially operated space stations, a major shift in space policy.
