Description

NASA’s Commercial Access to Space Program and Launch Services Program Office is conducting market research for a planned acquisition of at least eight full-mission-assurance commercial launches: one to low Earth orbit, three to sun-synchronous orbit, two to Lagrange or lunar orbit, and two to high-C3 orbit. The questionnaire requests information about which missions providers can support, required vehicle augmentations, volume pricing, possible mixed-fleet award structures, launch vehicle configuration and qualification, flight history, production status, reuse plans, anomalies, future capabilities, and payload processing capabilities. Proposed vehicles must have development-test evidence demonstrating at least 50% of flight thrust at the full-scale single-engine assembly level for all core-stage engines in the proposed common configuration; conceptual- or design-stage vehicles are outside the stated scope. Responses are for market research and acquisition planning, not proposals. Respondents are asked to complete the attached questionnaire and email it by November 17, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. EST. NASA also plans a virtual Industry Day on November 12–13, 2026, with optional one-on-one meetings afterward.
