NASA teams up with top space companies for commercial spacecraft and station development.

NASA has signed Space Act agreements with seven private space companies to advance the low Earth orbit (LEO) economy, with a focus on commercial space transportation, autonomous and robotic research and manufacturing, space infrastructure, and microgravity environments for research and private crewed operations. These partnerships are aimed at spurring tech developments that the government may invest in down the line, with NASA providing expertise and resources to aid and guide companies.
