- Description
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters has released a Request for Information (RFI), titled "In-Space Satellite Servicing System Capability," on August 1, 2017. Complete RFI details (to include due dates) can be accessed via NSPIRES as noted below. RFI responses must be submitted through NSPIRES. 1.Open the NSPIRES homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ 2. Select "Solicitations" 3. Select "Open Solicitations" 4. Select "NNH17ZOA002L" The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has been developing the technologies to facilitate satellite servicing since 1976. To date repair missions have been conducted in low Earth orbit (LEO) utilizing the unique advantages and competencies offered by the space shuttle transportation system and the astronaut corps. Continuing satellite servicing operations for LEO and geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO) assets requires new technologies and the use of autonomous and robotic methods, as human satellite servicing operations pose undesirable risks and costs. The commercial satellite industry has proven the capability to finance, design, develop, integrate, operate and own complex satellite systems. NASA is aware that some in the industry are interested in providing satellite servicing as a commercial service. With the recent increase of U.S. private-sector companies interested in space operations, NASA is seeking input on a potential public-private partnership with U.S. industry for the development and operation of an in-space satellite servicing capability.
