The International Space Station (ISS) is a crewed low Earth orbit (LEO) platform for research and technology development (R&D) that inspires innovation and provides opportunities for discovery to benefit humankind. The ISS National Laboratory® has a congressionally mandated mission to maximize use of this unique facility in LEO to accelerate knowledge and foster commercial development through space-based R&D.

Researchers can access ISS National Lab facilities through two pathways: 1) the Commercial Service Provider pathway and 2) a solicitation for proposals. The Commercial Service Provider pathway is detailed on the webpage linked below. Solicitations for proposals are unlikely to be issued in the future. If a solicitation is released, it will be posted on this webpage.
