As the aging International Space Station prepares for its retirement following a dedicated deorbit mission assigned to SpaceX for $850 million after 2030, NASA has officially issued its Request for Proposals for a replacement platform. Private entities including Axiom Space, the Blue Origin-backed Orbital Reef team, Starlab, and Vast are competing for the contract. Bidders have until December 8 to submit their proposals. NASA plans to select at least two contractor teams and commit a minimum of $100 million to initiate phase one design, engineering, and development work for the privately owned commercial outposts.
