Q&A for NextSTEP-2 Appendix K, LEO Free Flyer
Question: The synopsis states one of the primary objectives to be “to successfully develop commercial markets through demonstration of products and services in LEO in habitable commercial destinations”. The question is whether the demonstration mission proposed has to be of a “habitable” destination, or is it sufficient to show migration to a full habitable platform. There are commercial markets that do not require a habitable platform that can be demonstrated under the demonstration program, and could later be made habitable with addition of appropriate environmental control systems.
Answer: The requested demonstration is of a habitable destination. Should the proposer’s design not be immediately habitable, the plan and timeline for habitability shall be well described and shall be completed during the demonstration mission.
