WASHINGTON, March 5. /TASS/. The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has almost sevenfold raised the price of commercial services for the delivery of cargo to the International Space Station (ISS) and their return to Earth. This was announced on Thursday by the Internet portal SpaceNews.

According to him, the department believes that the new cost of services "reflects the full refund of the cost of NASA resources." According to the space agency, the decision is based on " discussions with stakeholders, on the current development of the market and the expectation of new commercial organizations providing similar services."

According to the Internet portal, the cost of delivering 1 kg of cargo of commercial companies to the ISS increased from $3 thousand to $20 thousand, and the return to Earth of 1 kg-from $6 thousand to $40 thousand. An hour of work of an astronaut on the ISS for commercial organizations is estimated at $130 thousand. Previously, this service cost $17.5 thousand.
