WTP Space LLC completed the NASA proposal phase for our first private astronaut mission to the International Space Station. This milestone marked a pivotal advancement in our mission to serve multiple Commercial LEO Destinations (CLDs) post-ISS and reinforces WTP’s leadership as an IMO in the next chapter of advancing commercial human space travel through broadened access.

NASA chose the familiar blueprint of Axiom for PAM 5, and Vast for PAM 6, hopefully with a fresh approach! Congratulations to the two leading CLD developers. WTP's participation in PAM 5 & 6 is currently under development in various related avenues. We are taking lessons from our PAM 5 & 6 submittion for future opportunities.

Per NASA.gov, NASA awarded a 7th private astronaut mission (PAM) to Voyager Space, this one awarded without a solicitation. NASA competed PAM 5 & 6 in a 2025 solicitation (https://sam.gov/opp/cafb00508ad9489698030effee8bb4c7/view), but did not compete PAM 7 with any specific solicitation.. It was reported that PAM 7 was awarded by NASA during a closed-door session between Voyager and NASA at Space Symposium 2026 in Colorado Springs, CO. WTP Space continues to pursue our first NASA PAM to ISS with integrity and transparancy, following all the rules laid out and enforced by NASA. However, WTP is also laying the foundation for a very innovative and novel private mission to LEO in 2028 without NASA, 100% commerciall, collaborating with leading companies within the commercial spaceflight sector. More information coming soon!

WTP Space LLC is proud to confirm new strategic collaborations and partnerships with key service providers and leading companies in the human spaceflight sector, with multiple engagements and agreements drawn up during early summer 2025, and again in the first four months of 2026. An official announcement is forthcoming, but these collaborations are already accelerating our preparations for supporting upcoming private astronaut missions and conducting future private astronaut missions.

"The demand for access to space—whether for research, media, sovereign missions, or commercial innovation—is growing exponentially. But without sufficient supply and the right delivery mechanisms, that demand remains untapped.

Sufficient supply means not just one station and one crew vehicle, but multiple crew vehicles and thriving Commercial LEO Destinations (CLDs) with reliable access, capacity, and differentiated capabilities. A healthy LEO economy depends on competition, redundancy, and choice.

The delivery mechanism is where Independent Mission Operators (IMOs) are essential. IMOs are both CLD-agnostic and launch vehicle agnostic by design — able to operate across multiple CLDs and launch vehicles rather than being tied to a single platform or launch vehicle. That flexibility unlocks broader access, creates real market optionality, and allows demand to flow where there's capacity. IMOs are the connective tissue that enables the entire ecosystem to scale.

We won’t meet the moment without strong CVs, strong CLDs, and strong IMOs. They are all critical to building the resilient, responsive, and inclusive space economy we all envision."
