This change will ensure the U.S. maintains continuous human presence in space while also enabling NASA to meet its ongoing microgravity research needs off the Earth while close to home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The technical and hardware development of these destinations are only one aspect required to support the growing economy in space. NASA\u2019s Commercial Low-Earth Orbit Destination industry partners must also continue to make progress on business operations. \u201cTo create a successful space economy where many types of individuals and businesses can operate and experience microgravity in orbit, progress must also include addressing market barriers, performing customer outreach activities, forming strategic industry partnerships, developing profitable business models, and securing outside investors and financing,\u201d said Phil McAlister, NASA\u2019s Commercial Space Division director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most recently, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/leo-economy\/commercial-destinations-in-low-earth-orbit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">three U.S. companies<\/a> with NASA funded Space Act Agreements each completed business milestones. Blue Origin completed its Orbital Reef Financial Report milestone, which included financial reports that demonstrated sufficient funding for the program, market projections, current orders, revenue recognition, and sales projections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nanoracks recently announced that Voyager Space and Airbus Defense and Space are partnering to develop and operate the Nanoracks Starlab. Airbus will provide the technical design support and expertise for Starlab. This announcement was part of a milestone to provide NASA insight into the roles and responsibilities of the new strategic partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Northrop Grumman completed a marketing status milestone that provided NASA insight into Northrop\u2019s marketing efforts to attract future Commercial LEO Destination customers, and its plans for public engagement, outreach, and widening a customer base. In addition to these funded SAAs, NASA has a contract with Axiom Space for commercial modules to attach to the station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Private astronaut missions also play a role in further developing a space economy. As preparations continue for the upcoming launch of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/press-release\/nasa-partners-clear-axiom-s-second-private-astronaut-mission-crew\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">second private astronaut mission<\/a> this spring, NASA and Axiom Space recently signed a mission order for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/press-release\/nasa-selects-axiom-space-for-third-private-astronaut-station-mission\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">third private astronaut mission<\/a> to the International Space Station to take place no earlier than November 2023 from NASA\u2019s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Private astronaut missions to the space station are a precursor to privately funded commercial space stations as part of NASA\u2019s efforts to develop a thriving low-Earth orbit ecosystem and marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very encouraging to see our industry partners focusing on these critical activities,\u201d said McAlister. \u201cBuilding a space station is incredibly difficult, but even more difficult will be operating these destinations in a cost-effective and sustainable manner. Our partners are literally \u2018taking care of business\u2019 with these milestones.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more than 22 years, NASA has supported a continuous U.S. human presence in low-Earth orbit aboard the space station. The agency\u2019s goal is to enable a strong, commercial marketplace in low-Earth orbit where NASA is one of many customers for private industry. This strategy will provide services the government needs safely, at a lower cost, and enables the agency to focus on its Artemis missions to the Moon in preparation for Mars, while continuing to use low-Earth orbit as a training and proving ground for those deep space missions.<\/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);
