ISS National Lab Manager Seeking Support Partners

摘要

The Florida nonprofit chosen last year to manage non-NASA science on the U.S. side of the international space station (ISS) released a request for information (RFI) Jan. 31 seeking input from potential implementation partners, service providers and organizations that can provide project integration and operations support for space station-bound payloads. NASA picked the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) in July, awarding the Space Floridabacked entity $15 million in annual funding to manage the logistics of sending non-NASA research payloads to the station. The group also will solicit proposals for space station experiments from industry, academia and other nonprofit groups.
