NASA has added funding and milestones to agreements with two commercial space station developers. NASA said Friday it added a combined $99.5 million to Space Act Agreements with Blue Origin and Voyager Space, primarily using money from a similar agreement with Northrop Grumman. That company withdrew from its agreement in October after electing to partner with Voyager Space. The funding will go towards additional technical milestones, including work on life support systems for Blue Origin's Orbital Reef station and modifying Northrop's Cygnus spacecraft to dock with Voyager's Starlab station.
