NASA Is Looking For Additional U.S. Companies To Launch Astronauts To The Space Station In The Midst Of Boeing Starliner Issues
Finally, in the midst of Boeing facing issues with its Starliner spacecraft development, NASA announced it is looking for additional U.S. companies to launch astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS).
As we know, NASA selected Boeing and SpaceX to conduct rotational missions under the Commercial Crew Program. However, Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft has not been certified to carry humans. Boeing said it is inspecting its spacecraft’s valves and their second demonstration test mission to ISS has slipped until 2022.
SpaceX has been launching NASA astronauts to the orbiting laboratory since 2020 when it returned human spaceflight capabilities to the United States after NASA depended on Russia Soyuz for roughly a decade for crewed flights. However, it’s getting to the point now where NASA really needs to be considering alternatives because Crew Dragon cannot cover all of the different tasks that are necessary for commercial crew.
So, what are the better alternatives?
Let find out in this episode of SpaceX Fans:
First, why did Nasa make this decision?
After years of development, commercial human space transportation systems have achieved or are nearing operational readiness. NASA recognizes the significant advancement of the commercial spaceflight industry and requests information on the availability of existing NASA certified capabilities, estimated timelines on the availability of future capabilities to be certified by NASA, and whether commercial services are available for crewed space transportation services delivering NASA and International Partner astronauts to and returning them from the ISS. Responses to this REQUEST FOR INFORMATION will be used to inform NASA’s planning for an acquisition approach for Commercial Crew Space Transportation Services.
NASA anticipates continued ongoing operations of the ISS beyond 2024. To provide for these needs and contingencies, NASA has determined a need to acquire additional Post-Certification Missions to meet its obligations to assure crewed access to the International Space Station.
Phil McAlister, director of the commercial spaceflight division at NASA Headquarters said that: “NASA has a need for additional crew rotation flights to the space station beyond the twelve missions the agency has awarded Boeing and SpaceX under the current contracts,” “Commercial crew transportation services are going to be needed into the foreseeable future, and we want to maintain competition, provide assured access to space on U.S. human launch systems and continue to enable a low-Earth orbit economy.”
