Description
The age of space technology is currently in the process of shifting from “Old Space” to “New Space”. Unlike Old Space companies such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin, which are granted contracts from NASA based on a cost plus basis, private New Space companies negotiate contracts based on a fixed cost. Therefore, the immense opportunity to enter into the space industry arises as a function of cost, the lower companies can keep costs, the higher the margins that are attainable. With the mutual need between private companies and NASA for contracts, there appears to be a quickly growing market for the privatized space exploration industry. The purpose of this report is to dissect the development of the industry and the business opportunities that are presented by answering the question, “What is the future of privatized space exploration as it relates to trends and changes in government funding, local economic incentives, efficient use of resources, and economies of scale?”
