NASA has injected an additional $99.5 million into agreements with Blue Origin and Voyager Space, supporting the development of commercial space stations. The funds, allocated from NASA's Commercial Low Earth Orbit Destinations (CLD) program, aim to nurture alternatives to the International Space Station (ISS). Blue Origin's Orbital Reef project, in collaboration with Sierra Space, will receive an extra $42 million, focusing on subsystem design reviews and life support systems. Voyager Space, partnering with Airbus Defence and Space for the Starlab station, secured $57.5 million for development milestones and enhancing Northrop Grumman's Cygnus cargo spacecraft.
