Successful demonstration of the capability is not only expected to accelerate the development of commercial capabilities to enable frequent launch of small spacecraft to LEO (low earth orbit) at a cost per kilogram of payload much lower than currently available, but will also serve key government / military needs of a variety of NASA and OGA (other government agencies) customers including SMDC, NRO, SOCOM, ORS and DARPA. These solicitations increase focus on collaborations with the commercial space sector that not only leverage emerging markets and capabilities to meet NASA's strategic goals, but also focus on industry needs. NASA's investments in industry partnerships can accelerate the availability of, and reduce costs for the development and infusion of, these emerging space system capabilities. While developing the technology to enable NASA's next generation of science and human exploration missions, we will grow the economy and strengthen the nation's economic competitiveness.
