Communications Services Project (CSP) Final Announcement for Proposals (AFP)

This AFP solicits proposals for the development and demonstration phase of the CSP.  NASA intends to establish multiple partnerships between NASA and commercial SATCOM companies to develop and demonstrate end-to-end operational capabilities that can potentially meet the needs of both Government and private sector customers.  These partnerships are intended to bolster American industry, significantly reduce the cost of communication services, and maximize interoperability between Government and commercial service providers while promoting a diverse commercial market. CSP will work with the commercial market to identify requirements and explore opportunities that may be mutually beneficial to the Government and industry.
