- Description
- NASA has outlined a broad strategy to facilitate the commercialization of LEO by U.S. companies (see NID 8600.121: �Use of International Space Station for Commercial and Marketing Activities�). As part of that strategy, NASA plans to enable private astronaut missions (PAMs) to the ISS. These private missions must use U.S. transportation vehicles that meet NASA�s ISS visiting vehicle requirements, policies, and procedures. NASA is soliciting proposals for two independent flight opportunities with launch dates between November 2022 through the end of December 2023 for Phase II of Focus Area 4A. The maximum number of private astronauts per mission shall not exceed four (4), and the maximum planned docked duration shall not exceed 14 days.� Note that specific launch dates are dependent on ISS vehicle traffic and on-orbit activity planning and constraints. No white papers will be accepted as a part of this solicitation. Proposals are due July 9, 2021, at 5 PM Eastern Time. Companies interested in this opportunity must visit the Amendments page under the following link: https://nspires.nasaprs.com/external/solicitations/summary!init.do?solId={21E0270C-BC1F-EFC4-3D87-30713B5FF373}&path=open NASA will host a pre-proposer�s conference to field industry questions related to this announcement on Tuesday, June 22, 2021 at 3:30 PM EDT. To confirm attendance, please RSVP via email to both Karen Dailey at karen.j.dailey@nasa.gov and Kelly Rubio at kelly.l.rubio@nasa.gov no later than Monday, June 21, 2021 at 12:00PM EDT.� Attendance information should include your company name, name/representative, and point of contact information.
