NASA's ISAM State of Play Emerges as Industry Reference for Space Servicing and Manufacturing

NASA's Langley Research Center has seen growing industry interest in its In-Space Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (ISAM) State of Play, with companies asking to be included for competitive intelligence. The team viewed these requests as a sign that the field had reached a turning point. Dale Arney, a senior team lead, reported that some unnamed companies had even asked whether the project held proprietary information. The growing demand suggests the ISAM State of Play is becoming a standard reference point for the commercial space sector.
