We continue to see a strong competitive landscape for future commercial destinations, and I am pleased that Northrop is staying with the program.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Northrop Grumman was originally awarded a milestone-based agreement in 2021 to develop their station, totaling $125.6 million. To date, $36.6 million has been paid to Northrop Grumman for the successful completion of milestones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NASA plans to take the remaining funding associated with Northrop Grumman\u2019s withdrawal and other program funding to add milestones to the agency\u2019s existing agreements with the other currently funded destination partners including Voyager Space\/Nanoracks, Blue Origin, and Axiom Space, assuming NASA and the companies can agree on the additional milestones and value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCommercial destinations are a critical capability for NASA as we transition low Earth orbit operations to private industry and open access to space. Refining strategies and evolving partnerships are part of the process as we build a robust low Earth orbit economy where NASA is one of many customers,\u201d says Angela Hart, manager of commercial low Earth orbit development program at NASA\u2019s Johnson Space Center in Houston. \u201cThis opportunity provides us the ability to reduce risks and have more insight into our partners\u2019 technical designs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Negotiations are ongoing to determine additional milestones for the existing partners and NASA will share more on those negotiations once they have been completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This additional content and funding will allow the partners to accelerate development efforts and help address schedule risk in reaching operational readiness prior to the International Space Station retirement in 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NASA is supporting the design and development of multiple commercial space stations with the three funded partners listed above, as well as several other partners with unfunded agreements through NASA\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/news-release\/seven-us-companies-collaborate-with-nasa-to-advance-space-capabilities\/\">Collaborations for Commercial Space Capabilities-2<\/a> project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The design and development phase will be followed by the procurement of services from one or more companies, where NASA aims to be one of many customers for low Earth orbit destinations after the retirement of the International Space Station. The agency recently issued a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/humans-in-space\/nasa-seeks-feedback-on-requirements-for-new-commercial-space-stations\/\">request for information<\/a> for industry to provide input on the agency\u2019s requirements for end-to-end low Earth orbit space station services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NASA\u2019s commercial strategy for low Earth orbit will provide the government with reliable and safe services at a lower cost and enable the agency to focus on Artemis missions to the Moon in preparation for Mars, while also continuing to use low Earth orbit as a training and proving ground for those deep space missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about NASA\u2019s commercial space strategy, visit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/humans-in-space\/commercial-space\/\">https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/humans-in-space\/commercial-space\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">-end-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joshua Finch<br>Headquarters, Washington<br>202-358-1100<br><a href=\"mailto:joshua.a.finch@nasa.gov\">joshua.a.finch@nasa.gov<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Rebecca Turkington<br>Johnson Space Center, Houston<br>281-483-5111<br><a href=\"mailto:rebecca.turkington@nasa.gov\">rebecca.turkington@nasa.gov<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-topic-cards nasa-gb-align-full maxw-full width-full padding-y-6 padding-x-3 color-mode-dark hds-module hds-module-full wp-block-nasa-blocks-topic-cards\">\t\t<div class=\"grid-container grid-container-block-lg padding-x-0\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-row flex-align-center margin-bottom-3\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"desktop:grid-col-8 margin-bottom-2 desktop:margin-bottom-0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"label color-carbon-60 margin-bottom-2\">Keep Exploring<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"heading-36 line-height-sm\">Discover More Topics<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-row grid-gap-2 hds-topic-cards-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/humans-in-space\/commercial-space\/low-earth-orbit-economy\/\" class=\"mobile:grid-col-12 tablet:grid-col-6 desktop:grid-col-3 topic-card margin-bottom-4 desktop:margin-bottom-0\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hds-topic-card hds-cover-wrapper cover-hover-zoom bg-carbon-black\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"skrim-overlay skrim-overlay-dark skrim-left mobile-skrim-top padding-3 display-flex flex-align-end flex-justify-start z-200\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"hds-topic-card-heading heading-29 color-spacesuit-white line-height-sm margin-top-0 margin-bottom-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Low Earth Orbit Economy<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><circle class=\"color-nasa-red\" cx=\"16\" cy=\"16\" r=\"16\"><\/circle><path d=\"M8 16.956h12.604l-3.844 4.106 1.252 1.338L24 16l-5.988-6.4-1.252 1.338 3.844 4.106H8v1.912z\" class=\"color-spacesuit-white\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"hds-media-background  \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1041\" height=\"693\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/iss044e054270.jpg?w=1041\" class=\"attachment-1536x1536 size-1536x1536\" alt=\"\" style=\"transform: scale(1);
