NASA supports In Space Production Applications (InSPA)\u202fawards to help the selected companies raise the technological readiness level of their products and move them to market, propelling U.S. industry toward the development of a sustainable, scalable, and profitable non-NASA demand for services and products in low-Earth orbit. These commercialization awards provide opportunities for NASA to reduce its future costs in LEO enabling deep-space missions farther from Earth, including the Moon and Mars. NASA is leading commercial LEO development efforts to stimulate non-NASA demand for commercially owned and operated orbital destinations from which NASA can purchase services as one of many customers. As new commercial orbital destinations become available, NASA intends to foster an orderly transition from current space station operations and research to the new commercial enterprise as laid out in NASA\u2019s International Space Station\u202fTransition Report<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Ensuring U.S. leadership of in-space manufacturing in low-Earth orbit by enabling the use of the\u00a0ISS\u00a0National Laboratory to demonstrate the production of advanced materials and products for terrestrial markets.<\/p>\n A robust and sustainable space economy where a diverse portfolio of U.S. companies operates a broad array of commercially owned productions facilities alongside government and private astronauts living and training on the LEO Commercial Destinations that follow the space station.<\/p>\n For more information about\u00a0InSPA, please read:\u00a0In Space for Earth! \u2013 In Space Production Applications Overview White Paper<\/a><\/strong> and InSPA Awards Provide Funding and Expertise to Help Promising U.S. Innovators.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n For contact information and frequently asked questions, please see:\u00a0NASA Points of Contact and FAQs<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Download the\u00a0InSPA\u00a0<\/strong>logo\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\nMission<\/h2>\n
