The U.S. Congress's NASA Authorization Act of 20171 directed NASA to develop an International Space Station (ISS) Transition Plan, specifically "to transition in a step-wise approach from the current regime that relies heavily on NASA sponsorship to a regime where NASA could be one of many customers of a low-Earth orbit (LEO) nongovernmental human space flight enterprise." This vision may include a transfer of all or parts of the ISS itself to commercial entities, in concert with the ISS International Partner agencies, or a complete transition off the ISS to other commercial platforms in LEO. In either scenario, NASA intends to segue its government role from a supplier of its own LEO services to a customer of commercially-provided services for its needs.
