Commercial Low Earth Orbit Destinations Program

[edit]

The Commercial Low Earth Orbit Destinations Program is an initiative by NASA to support work on commercial space stations that the agency hopes to have in place by the end of the current decade to replace the aging International Space Station.[1]

On December 2, 2021, NASA made agreements with three groups of companies worth over $400 million to advance development of commercial space stations. The largest award for $160 million, went to a team led by Nanoracks with Voyager Space Holdings and Lockheed Martin for the "Starlab" space station that could be ready by 2027. A second award for $130 million, went to a team led by Blue Origin that includes Boeing, Redwire, Sierra Space, and others for its Orbital Reef space station that aims to enter service by the late 2020s. The third award for $125.6 million, went to Northrop Grumman for a proposed station based on the company’s work on the Cygnus cargo spacecraft, Mission Extension Vehicle satellite servicing program, and the Habitation and Logistics Outpost module for NASA's Lunar Gateway.[2][3]
