Commercial
Space Stations

NASA is supporting the development of commercially owned and operated space stations in low Earth orbit from which the agency, along with other customers, can purchase services and stimulate the growth of commercial activities in microgravity. NASA is using a two-phase approach to, first, support the design and development of commercial space stations and, second, enable the agency to certify the commercial space stations and purchase services as one of many customers.

America’s Future in Low Earth Orbit

NASA plans to transition to a new low Earth orbit model featuring commercial space stations to continue leveraging the unique environment and microgravity research benefits.
