Yes, NASA is about to open the International Space Station for business from now on! - From now on, private astronauts will be able to travel to ISS for research and development, and this latest announcement was made by NASA on June 7, 2019!
This means that from now on, private companies will be able to make products and even do marketing in ISS. Although at least 50 companies are currently researching and improving ISS, NASA is removing restrictions on their stations!
Moreover, from now on, NASA will allow them to set up private modules on the International Space Station. Any private astronaut will be able to visit the International Space Station and stay in the space station for a maximum of 30 consecutive days with two trips a year, and yes that facility is going to start from 2020!
Of course the training of private astronauts has to be recognized by NASA and they cannot go to ISS alone, there will be NASA official astronauts, meaning allready and they are at ISS! - Private astronauts will not be able to walk in space even if they can stay in ISS and conduct research.
NASA is going to launch this system to create a new space economy, ah, I forgot to mention the cost! - Private astronauts to spend 1 night on the International Space Station will cost about 35 thousand US dollars, which is about 3 million Bangladeshi rupees, including the cost of food and transportation to the station!
