- Description
- In May of 2018, NASA will be releasing a NASA Research Announcement (NRA) for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Commercialization. The purpose of this NRA is to inform NASA's strategy for enabling the commercialization of human spaceflight in LEO and meeting NASA's long-term LEO needs. The NRA will solicit industry concepts, business plans and viability for habitable platforms, whether using the International Space Station (ISS) or free-flying, that would enable a commercial marketplace in LEO where NASA is one of many customers. Additionally, the study seeks industry input on the role of government and evolution of ISS in the roadmap to commercialization of LEO. NASA anticipates awarding multiple four-month, fixed priced contracts, up to $1M per award. Participation is open to U.S. organizations, including industry, educational institutions, and nonprofit institutions. A Pre-Proposal Conference ("industry day") to discuss the study objectives and proposal instructions with prospective respondents is planned for Tuesday, May 1, in the Gilruth Center at Johnson Space Center. Remote teleconferencing capability will also be available. For more details on this event and to obtain presentation materials, please RSVP to the Contracting Officer via email JSC-LEO-Commercial@mail.nasa.gov. NASA will later release the NRA including the final proposal instructions, study contents and due date through FedBizOpps at http://www.fbo.gov and NSPIRES at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/external/. Questions should be directed to JSC-LEO-Commercial@mail.nasa.gov.
