NASA is seeking information from commercial providers on secondary communications capabilities to support the Artemis III mission, which will launch crew in the Orion spacecraft into Low Earth Orbit (LEO) to test rendezvous and docking with commercial lunar landers. The agency requires a system providing near continuous communication with at least 12 Mbps downlink (goal of 20-50 Mbps) and over 500 kbps uplink, with hardware delivery needed by fall 2026 for external mounting or early 2027 for internal crew setup. Performance of services would occur in LEO at approximately 250 nautical miles with a 33-degree inclination. No specific budget amounts are mentioned in the description. An Industry Day is scheduled for May 19, 2026, at Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX, with one-on-one meetings available on May 19-20, 2026.
