NASA’s Johnson Space Center(JSC) recognized Made In Space for its work in operating the Additive Manufacturing Facility (AMF) on a weekly basis for the past two years aboard the International Space Station. In Houston during a ceremony, the space manufacturing company received NASA’s Small Business Prime Contractor of the Year Award. Johnson Space Center, which oversees AMF operations for NASA, nominated Made In Space for the award, which is given to companies that work cooperatively with program personnel and contracting officials, perform well on every NASA contract at the nominating center during an awards review period, and are responsive to contractual requirements. The AMF has now 3d printed over 100 parts for government and commercial customers, along with researchers and universities, and that’s without taking into account the parts printed just for use on the ISS.

“We’re honored to win this prestigious award. We’re grateful for NASA’s confidence in our team and look forward to success with AMF and other programs for many years to come.”

Mike Snyder, Made In Space Co-Founder and Chief Engineer
