Title

The Demand Side of the Space Economic Equation: Understanding and Evaluating the Changing Market Dynamics in Space Activities

Description

This session will focus on space business sectors such as telecommunications, navigation, and remote sensing as their markets become saturated and rapid growth slows. What will be the role of the new industrial actors in space? Can the demand for new small satellites, big data, satellite servicing, and space resource utilization, remain sufficient to encourage additional investment growth in the basic terrestrial supporting infrastructure (launch vehicles, space hardware, and consumer products)? Or, will the eventual saturation of the current “big ticket” space applications lead to a fundamental change in financing and investing in private space activities and affect large-scale government missions as well?
