> "NASA released the final RFP for commercial stations to succeed the ISS

NASA put out the final request for proposals on 9 October 2026 for the privately owned stations that are supposed to replace the ISS in low Earth orbit. Earlier work was done under funded Space Act Agreements. This round is firm-fixed-price multi-award IDIQ contracts. NASA plans to pick two or more contractors for early development, then run a later competition for final design, test, certification and services. Proposals are due 8 December 2026 and awards are expected in spring 2027. The current budget has $272.3 million for it and about $2.1 billion is attached over the next five years. NASA also said it will furnish transportation for the first four service missions and published its own price estimates, around $325 million for a four-seat crew flight in 2030 and about $300 million for cargo."
