The federal contract IDV is a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) awarded by NASA's Johnson Space Center (JSC) to Axiom Space Inc., a commercial space company based in Houston, Texas. The BOA facilitates private astronaut transportation services to the International Space Station (ISS) through delivery order funding for specific missions.
Under this BOA, Axiom Space has been awarded multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders to provide end-to-end services enabling private astronauts' transportation to and stay aboard the ISS for periods up to ten days. The delivery orders, valued at over $6.1 million in total, fund private astronaut missions designated as AX-1, AX-2, AX-3, and AX-4. Axiom Space also holds other prime contracts with NASA, including orders to demonstrate Extravehicular Activity (EVA) services and develop commercial destination capabilities in low Earth orbit to support NASA's human spaceflight programs.
