- Abstract
What if a new, international space agency was formed? Where would it be located? Who would run it? How would it be governed and how would it be operated? These are the initial questions that come to mind when beginning to research the concept of a new space agency. Technology is at a state where it has the perfect combination of capabilities that will enable this space agency: multimillion dollar projects are being crowdfunded, large corporations crowdsource skills, visions are championed. Can this be taken to the next level, and applied to form a new space agency? Based on industry and market research, this presentation will outline the key components necessary to create this new and borderless space agency that can be open for anyone to participate in its missions.
