RFI

The Department of the Air Force is seeking industry input on a proposed Cislunar Space System of up to five spacecraft, with government-provided payloads and industry-provided spacecraft buses and mission services. Responses are due November 24, 2026; the RFI may lead to up to five fixed-price preliminary design studies, but does not commit the government to a fleet, funding, or follow-on procurement.

NASA Goddard has issued an RFI seeking industry concepts to raise Hubble’s orbit, service the telescope, or conduct a controlled reentry. NASA says launch must occur by 2032 and expects a follow-on RFP, creating a potential future opportunity for aerospace and space-service firms.

The U.S. Navy is seeking industry capabilities to produce up to 600 Advanced Emission Suppression Missiles (AESM) annually. This initiative addresses urgent operational needs amidst delays in existing missile programs, offering opportunities for defense contractors specializing in missile technology.
