In a multiphase strategy, the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center�s (JSC) Commercial LEO Development Program (CLDP) is helping to spur the development of new LEO destinations and supporting systems from private industry. CLDP�s Revised Phase 2 Strategy - Directive Clarifications: CLDP is providing an industry update as NASA has determined that, rather than moving forward at this time with a firm fixed price contract for certification and services, NASA will continue to support U.S. industry�s design and demonstration of Commercial LEO Destinations (CLDs) with funded Space Act Agreements (SAAs) for the next phase. NASA remains committed to enabling sustainable development of commercially owned and operated LEO destinations under the National Aeronautics and Space Act (Space Act), 51 U.S.C. �� 20101-20164. Therefore, the attached presentation slides are provided to communicate the revised CLD�s Phase 2 strategy. See attached file: Commercial LEO Directive Clarifications 08142025.pdf.
