NASA Seeks to Advance Space Infrastructure Servicing Through Government-Industry-Academia-Nonprofit Alliance

NASA has formed a consortium to equip the standard space mission life cycle with in-space servicing, assembly and manufacturing innovations.

The Aerospace Corp. was tasked with operating the Consortium for Space Mobility and ISAM Capabilities to facilitate collaborative work among government agencies, companies, academic institutions and nonprofit entities, NASA said Thursday.

An ISAM system includes tasks necessary to repair, retrofit, relocate and refuel spacecraft. The process also involves the use of 3D printing technology to assemble and fabricate components in space.

“This new consortium provides a place for all parties to coordinate and collaborate on capability development, business cases and mission applications,” said Jim Reuter, associate administrator of NASA’s space technology mission directorate.

COSMIC’s kickoff meeting is scheduled to occur in the fall of 2023.
