NASA Suborbital Crew Space Transportation Services

The NASA Suborbital Crew Space Transportation Services contract focuses on developing and providing end-to-end suborbital flight capabilities that reach approximately 80 kilometers altitude with a minimum of one minute of sustained microgravity. This effort aims to support suborbital missions by enabling reliable transportation services that meet these specific flight parameters. The initiative is managed by NASA's Kennedy Space Center and is identified under the solicitation number KSC-SUBC-2021-Update, with a primary focus on the NAICS code 481211, which involves scheduled passenger air transportation. To facilitate communication and provide updates on the progress and details of this suborbital crew transportation effort, NASA is offering virtual one-on-one meetings with interested parties. Requests to schedule these sessions can be made via email to the designated contacts Emily Weiland or Joseph Bell at NASA. The contract announcement was posted on May 14, 2021, and includes a link for access to additional information through the official government contracting website. The overall goal is to enhance NASA's capabilities in suborbital flight services, advancing technology and operational frameworks for future missions that require brief periods of microgravity.
