<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nNASA has selected 15 companies to provide flight and payload integration services to advance technologies and procedures for operating in space, including testing in high-altitude, reduced gravity, or other relevant environments. <\/a>Examples of payloads include NASA science instruments or technology demonstrations.<\/p>\n The indefinite-delivery\/indefinite-quantity base contract awards are firm-fixed-price with a total combined value of $45 million and a performance period of five years. The flights and other services covered by these contracts are for use by NASA and other government agencies. The types of platforms that will be used for testing include suborbital rockets, high-altitude balloons, orbital spacecraft and satellites, and, in some instances, suborbital rockets that can accommodate carry people.<\/p>\n The following companies have been awarded contracts to provide services through demonstrated commercial capabilities:<\/p>\n The contracts are in support of NASA\u2019s Flight Opportunities<\/a> and Small Spacecraft Technology<\/a> programs, both part of the NASA\u2019s Space Technology Mission Directorate at the agency\u2019s headquarters in Washington. These programs support technology development and missions to change the pace of space exploration, discovery, and space commerce.<\/p>\n For information about the flight platforms available through NASA\u2019s Flight Opportunities program, visit:<\/p>\n https:\/\/go.nasa.gov\/4bRVhtz<\/a><\/p>\n -end-<\/p>\n Abbey Donaldson Megan Person\n
