About this opportunity

NASA Johnson Space Center issued a Source Selection Statement on April 14, 2026, announcing awards for Private Astronaut Mission (PAM) flight opportunities to the International Space Station under NASA Research Announcement NNJ13ZB001N, Focus Area 4A. The awarded contracts provide commercial crew transportation and mission services to the ISS, with Axiom Space, LLC selected for PAM 5 (launch window June-October 2026) and Vast Space, LLC selected for PAM 6 (mid-2027), while Voyager Space Solutions was subsequently selected for a PAM 7 mission within the PAM 6 flight opportunity window following a March 19, 2026 addendum. The Source Selection Statement does not specify contract values or exact mission timelines. NASA's evaluation considered three equally-weighted factors—Merit, NASA Supportability, and Relevance—with the selected contractors demonstrating strong feasibility and alignment with NASA's commercial space objectives and ISS utilization goals.
