Future Space Markets

Space exploration has captured the imagination and§dreams of many scientists, engineers§and visionaries. It has become a symbol of human§ability to break the boundaries of sci-§ence and technology; and now business§boundaries.Commercialisation of space technology will§bring benefits to§society in the areas of, environmental protection§(e.g. climate change), disease prevention§(e.g. osteoporosis) and technological innovation. ISS§commercialisation will allow private§companies to develop and test their products.§This research investigates the opportunities for the§development, selection and implemen-§tation of collaborations between space agencies and§commercial partners to market ISS§products and services and will describe and predict§strategic and market developments for§ISS commercialisation. As today's ISS§commercialisation can become the basis for tomorrow's§partial commercial§exploitation on interplanetary space missions.
