The requirements will help industry understand NASA\u2019s human-rating standards that will be used by the agency to certify that the new systems meet NASA expectations for low Earth orbit operations and transportation. An industry briefing day is scheduled to take place Thursday Oct. 12, with responses to the RFI due Friday, Nov. 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis RFI is a significant next step in transitioning low Earth orbit operations to the private sector, allowing NASA to be one of many customers for services\u201d says Phil McAlister, director of commercial spaceflight at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. \u201cThese requirements will be the foundation upon which the companies can design safe systems. But the requirements have to work for companies as well. Thus, we are seeking industry feedback on these draft requirements to ensure that the Commercial LEO destinations will be safe, reliable, and cost effective.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The agency is currently supporting the development of several new stations and destination concepts through both funded and unfunded agreements. However, a company does not need to have a current agreement with NASA in order to provide feedback via the RFI or to bid on future procurements to provide low Earth orbit services to the agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve seen a tremendous amount of innovation and effort from industry thus far in developing their station designs,\u201d says Angela Hart, manager of the Commercial Low Earth Orbit Development program at NASA\u2019s Johnson Space Center in Houston. \u201cWe are working in lockstep with multiple companies to help guide them in a way that sets them up for success to meet our requirements. However, it\u2019s crucial that we open feedback to as wide of an audience as possible. The more commercial stations that are successfully operating in low Earth orbit, the greater likelihood that we can continue to drive down costs and encourage innovation in this new commercial space industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NASA previously sought industry input in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/feature\/nasa-seeks-feedback-on-commercial-destination-certification\/\">2022<\/a> and early <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/leo-economy\/nasa-seeks-input-for-commercial-leo-destinations\">2023,<\/a> and has hosted two industry days on the agency\u2019s assumptions and expectations for crew and technical requirements to guide companies\u2019 technical and business plans. The feedback from industry will continue to inform the agency\u2019s future commercial services strategy for low Earth orbit destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NASA’s 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\n<p>Information about how to attend the industry briefing day is contained in the <a href=\"https:\/\/sam.gov\/opp\/ee10afc4b56c454391b80bd93a16f3a0\/view\" rel=\"noopener\">RFI on SAM.gov.<\/a> For more information about NASA\u2019s commercial space strategy, visit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><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><strong><em>By Rebecca Turkington<\/em><\/strong><br><strong><em>Johnson Space Center, Houston<\/em><\/strong><br><a href=\"mailto:rebecca.turkington@nasa.gov\"><strong><em>rebecca.turkington@nasa.gov<\/em><\/strong><\/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);
