RSC EnergiaSoyuz MS-18 Mission

NASA is seeking to obtain one of the three seats on the 2021-04-10 Soyuz mission for an astronaut in exchange for in-kind services rather than purchasing the seat.
NASA issued a procurement solicitation proposing to fly a NASA astronaut on Soyuz MS-18 using in-kind services rather than a cash payment, and the request for sources closed on 2021-02-19.
Axiom Space will receive a seat on a NASA commercial crew mission to the International Space Station, likely in 2023, in exchange for the Soyuz MS-18 seat.
