E6.1. Case Studies and Prizes in Commercial Space

The entrepreneurial space movement can benefit from the experience of other programs, companies and individuals and new ideas that are built on these histories can be better positioned in a competitive market. This session is intended to collect and tell the histories of past and new space business attempts and successes as well provide insights into the use of incentive prizes to spur the emergence of a New Space movement.

E6.2. Public/Private Human Access to Space - Supporting Studies

The International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) Commission 3 “Space Technology & System Development” has initiated a study group (#3.14) entitled “Public/Private Human Access to Space”. The papers presented in this session either support this activity directly or indirectly through the use of management theory models as applied to select commercial space industry segments.

E6.3. New Space and New Science

The space industry has been predominated by government programs with a major focus on scientific exploration (both robotic or human). More recently, the world has seen the emergence of private organizations embarking on ambitious scientific space programs of their own. This session is designed to compile a sampling of these programs, providing a description and update of their activities in the non-profit world of science.
