## Summary

NASA has released the 2026 edition of its ISAM State of Play, a 368-page document recording in-orbit servicing, assembly, and manufacturing capabilities across 11 functional areas, covering areas such as robotic operations, refueling, and structural assembly. Published since 2021, the document includes only hardware that already has a ground prototype or an in-orbit demonstration; concept proposals must wait for the following year's review. The 2026 edition adds developer profiles and facility information, and is available for download on NASA.gov.
