As commercial Low Earth Orbit destinations (CLDs) become available, NASA intends to implement an orderly transition from current International Space Station (ISS) operations to these new CLDs. Transition of Low Earth Orbit operations to the private sector will yield efficiencies in the long term, enabling NASA to shift resources towards other objectives. With the introduction of CLDs, NASA expects to realize efficiencies from the use of smaller, more modern and efficient platforms and a more commercial approach to meeting the Agency\u2019s needs in Low Earth Orbit. In the longer term, the gradual emergence of additional customers for commercial Low Earth Orbit destinations will offer the opportunity for additional savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The extension of ISS operations to 2030 will continue to return benefits to the United States and to humanity as a whole while preparing for a successful transition of capabilities to one or more commercially-owned and -operated Low Earth Orbit destinations (CLDs). NASA has entered into a contract for commercial modules to be attached to a space station docking port and awarded space act agreements for design of three free-flying commercial space stations. U.S. industry is developing these commercial destinations to begin operations in the late 2020s for both government and private-sector customers, concurrent with space station operations, to ensure these new capabilities can meet the needs of the United States and its partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>CLD Partner Organizations:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.axiomspace.com\/axiom-station\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Axiom Space<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitalreef.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Blue Origin<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/starlab-space.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nanoracks<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"America\u2019s Future: Commercial Space Destinations\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v7sS4vVtHpI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
