NASA seeks US industry proposals for commercial space stations
NASA is inviting American companies to submit proposals for developing commercial space stations, as the agency looks to industry to build the next generation of orbital destinations in low Earth orbit. The move is part of NASA's broader strategy to transition from owning and operating its own station to becoming a customer of privately run facilities once the International Space Station is retired.
Why now: NASA is actively shifting its low Earth orbit strategy toward commercial partners, making the future of US human spaceflight a live topic
