Blue Origin, which is the CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos’ space flight company is considering entering the commercial space station game. The company is considering the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as its first potential customer. The job listing on the company’s website indicated that they are looking for someone to lead the development of commercial space stations in low Earth orbit (LEO) as part of their new ‘Orbital Habitat Formulation’ product line.
On the one hand, the company wants NASA to register, and on the other, they are also looking for new acquisitions that can help them create these habitats. Whoever succeeds the position must have an extensive network at the US-based space agency that Blue Origin can leverage to “shape and accelerate the LEO target systems acquisition strategy.”
However, NASA had stopped its NextSTEP program, also known as Appendix K. But the possibility is still at stake. BusinessInsider quoted Phil McAlister, NASA’s director of commercial spaceflight programs, as saying that he can’t promise any specific timelines associated with that, but they are definitely working on the free flight and intend to post a request soon about that once. They get their all internally agreed strategy.
