National space and aviation research office (NASA) Begin The second phase of the development strategy of commercial space stations.
According to the office office, NASA provides companies from the United States to make suggestions for cooperative models that can replace the International Space Station (ISS). As the temporary administrator of NASA Sean Duffy said, this department aims to ensure the continuity of the missions with drivers in orbit, as well as reduce the budget risk.
At the same time, NASA wants to escape the role of the operator for customers – Instead of launching and researching its own, the Management Board wants to buy services and access to commercial stations will be under the control of private companies.
In the second phase of this strategy, NASA plans to prove the private platforms, in which space tasks with four astronauts will take place at least once a month. The main selection criteria for such platforms are safe, economic efficiency and adherence to national interests. It is thought that in all companies that are interested in NASA will choose some potential partners.
However, NASA has no plans to completely prevent its own tasks – the office wants to switch from working with commercial stations to research on long -term space.
