> On January 5th, NASA announced that the agency will increase its investment in next generation space stations by $99.5 million, in another step towards Low Earth Orbit (LEO) commercialization. Blue Origin and Voyager Space, along with Axiom Space are NASA’s primary partners in developing commercially owned and operated space stations that will succeed the International Space Station (ISS) as early as 2030.
>Blue Origin will receive an additional $42 million, bringing the total award for Orbital Reef space station development to $172 million, while Voyager Space will receive an additional $57.5 million, bringing the total award for Starlab development to $217.5 million. With the adjustments to these contracts, NASA has introduced new technical milestones aimed at expediting development, mitigating risks, and enhancing NASA's understanding of station design and progress.
