NASA seeks industry plans for next-gen space stations
NASA has asked industry to submit plans for next-generation space stations as it prepares for the eventual retirement of the International Space Station. The request signals the agency's push to hand over low Earth orbit operations to commercial operators. NASA has previously funded private station concepts from companies such as Axiom Space, Blue Origin, Northrop Grumman and Vast, and the move is being watched closely by the space policy community.
Why now: The International Space Station's planned retirement is pushing NASA to speed up transition plans to commercial orbital stations.
