Title

Space Economy Session – A focus on in-space operations and their potential to stimulate economic development

Description

Over the past few years a number of national space agencies have issued policy, strategic, and implementation plans for in-space activities that are likely to have significant economic impact. These activities include satellite servicing, other rendezvous and proximity operations, and assembly/manufacturing of components. Also in recent years, market segments are emerging for products and services delivered to in-orbit locations as well as to cis-lunar and deeper space destinations. Priority in this session will be given to papers that focus on the economic analysis of these new and emerging market segments and on the impacts they will have in stimulating broader economic developments in space and on the Earth. Papers dealing with the space economy at large, and with overall economic impacts of space activities are still considered within the scope of this session and will also be given consideration for presentation.
