OFFICE OF COMMERCIAL SPACE TRANSPORTATION DOCUMENTS

Why is our office moving these regulatory-based documents to a new location?

Watch Video (link is external)

providing transportation to the ISS laboratories for research and space tourism.
This rapidly growing industry is inspiring scientists, engineers, teachers, and
a whole generation, to imagine entirely new possibilities for the future of
space.
