Summary:
- NASA has selected six companies to conduct studies on orbital transfer vehicles, which are spacecraft that can move satellites and other payloads from one orbit to another.
- These studies will help NASA understand the capabilities and costs of different orbital transfer vehicle designs, which could be used to support future space missions and commercial space activities.
- The selected companies will provide NASA with information on the technical, operational, and financial aspects of their orbital transfer vehicle concepts, helping the agency plan for future space transportation needs.
