Companies proposing to develop commercial space stations are pushing back against claims by NASA that a market for such stations has yet to develop.
During a panel at the 41st Space Symposium April 15, executives with three companies working on such stations said they've described to NASA their estimates of the demand for their stations after NASA proposed a change in strategy for its Commercial Low Earth Orbit Destinations, or CLD, program.
NASA issued a request for information (RFI) March 25 seeking data from companies about the market for commercial space stations and procurement approaches for them.
