What is Commercial Space or New. Space? New. Space (noun) (nöö – späs) also new space, entrepreneurial space, astropreneurship, and commercial space People, businesses, and organizations working to open the space frontier to human settlement through economic development.

How is New. Space different from Old Space? ● Contractors have always carried out worked for NASA ● And still do ● Now companies are investing their own money and working independently of the government to design and create hardware (and software) to run their own missions ● Boeing is a contractor for NASA and military, but it is also working on its own private programs

Charlie Walker An American engineer who flew on three Space Shuttle missions in 1984 and 1985 as a Payload Specialist for the Mc. Donnell Douglas Corporation. He is the first non -government individual to fly in space. Commercial space engineer Charles Walker: A bold step for American industry https: //www. upi. com/Archives/1984/06/25/Commercial-space-engineer. Charles-Walker-A-bold-step-for-American-industry/3459456984000/ By WILLIAM HARWOOD, United Press International | June 25, 1984 “Disappointed when NASA turned down his astronaut application in 1978, Charles Walker never gave up his dream, and now he has become the first commercial engineer assigned to a space shuttle mission. He works for the Mc. Donnell Douglas Astronautics Co. of St. Louis and was tapped for the first flight of the shuttle Discovery to operate a biological factory that his company expects to produce a top-secret life-saving hormone that could be marketed by 1987. ” … “Walker visualizes his role as a commercial payload specialist as the latest in a series of evolutionary steps in the shuttle program to open space flight to a wide variety of government and private interests. ”

What does NASA do? ● ● ● NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida launches spacecraft around the Earth and beyond. Each center is responsible for working on various parts of NASA’s missions. Credits: NASA Astronauts in orbit conduct scientific research. Satellites help scientists learn more about Earth. Space probes study the Solar System, and beyond. New developments improve air travel and other aspects of flight. Landed humans on the Moon. The agency shares what it learns, so that its information can make life better for people all over the world. For example, companies can use NASA discoveries to create new “spin-off” products.

Space Spinoffs Favorites: GPS, Digital Cameras (including cell phone and Go. Pro), Sunglasses. . .

● ● ● Curiosity took this self-portrait just moments before the dust storm clouded the Gale crater area. The photo was processed and shared online by NASA enthusiasts and citizen scientist Sean Doran. ● NASA’s Headquarters are in Washington, D. C. There are 10 NASA field centers: Ames (Research), Armstrong (Flight Research), Glenn (Research), Goddard (Space Flight), JPL (Space Flight), Johnson (Space), Kennedy (Space), Langley (Research), Marshall (Space Flight), Stennis (Space). More than 18, 000 people work for NASA. Many more people work with the agency as government contractors. Those people are hired by companies that NASA pays to do work for it. The combined workforce represents a wide variety of jobs. Astronauts may be the best-known NASA employees, but they only represent a small number of the total workforce. Many NASA workers are scientists and engineers. But people there hold many other jobs, too, from firefighters to social media experts to lawyers to teachers.

Beyond NASA which countries have space programs? From Wikipedia: As of 2018, 72 different government space agencies are in existence; 14 of those have launch capability. Six government space agencies—the China National Space Administration (CNSA), the European Space Agency (ESA), the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the Russian Federal Space Agency (RFSA or Roscosmos)—have full launch capabilities; these include the ability to launch and recover multiple satellites, deploy cryogenic rocket engines, and operate extraterrestrial probes. For a full list of space programs visit this Wiki page: https: //en. wikipedia. org/w iki/List_of_government_sp ace_agencies In looking at the charts on the “list of government space agencies” page what do you notice?

Looking for Patterns - Government Space Agencies ● ● When studying the dates that the agencies began, is there a world event that might have inspired the country to start a space program? What seems to be the first space project that agencies develop? Does the country you represented for the Model UN have a space program? Which countries have a military space program? ● ● Why would a country want a space agency? Does every continent have a country with a space agency? Globally, do people have equal access to space? Is there a correlation between “greatness” and having a space program?

Space. X “When Falcon Heavy lifted off, it became the most powerful operational rocket in the world by a factor of two. With the ability to lift into orbit nearly 64 metric tons (141, 000 lb)---a mass greater than a 737 jetliner loaded with passengers, crew, luggage and fuel-Falcon Heavy can lift more than twice the payload of the next closest operational vehicle, the Delta IV Heavy, at one-third the cost. Following liftoff, the two side boosters separated from the center core and returned to landing site for future reuse. Falcon Heavy put a Tesla Roadster and its passenger, Starman, into orbit around the sun. At max velocity Starman and the Roadster will travel 11 km/s (7 mi/s) and travel 400 million km (250 million mi) from Earth. ” by Space. X, Published on March 10, 2018

Policies that impact New. Space policy is the political decisionmaking process for, and application of, public policy of a state (or association of states) regarding spaceflight and uses of outer space, both for civilian (scientific and commercial) and military purposes. International treaties, such as the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, attempt to maximize the peaceful uses of space and restrict the militarization of space. ● "Outer Space Treaty" - The Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies ● "Rescue Agreement" - The Agreement on the Rescue of Astronauts, the Return of Astronauts and the Return of Objects Launched into Outer Space ● "Liability Convention" - The Convention on International Liability for Damage Caused by Space Objects ● "Registration Convention" - The Convention on Registration of Objects Launched into Outer Space ● "Moon Treaty" - The Agreement Governing the Activities of States on the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies These are all UN treaties. . .

United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space The United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) was established in 1958 (shortly after the launch of Sputnik) as an ad hoc committee. In 1959, it was formally established by United Nations resolution 1472 (XIV). The mission of COPUOS is "to review the scope of international cooperation in peaceful uses of outer space, to devise programmes in this field to be undertaken under United Nations auspices, to encourage continued research and the dissemination of information on outer space matters, and to study legal problems arising from the exploration of outer space. " http: //www. unoosa. org/oosa/en/ourwork/copuos/index. html The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) is Secretariat to the Committee. All documents related to the Committee and its subcommittees, the Scientific and Technical Subcommittee and the Legal Subcommittee, can be found at the UNOOSA website. http: //www. unoosa. org/oosa/index. html

U. S. Laws Governing Space https: //spacepolicyonline. com/topics/space-law/ See Handout ITAR and EAR ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) and the EAR (Export Administration Regulations) are export control regulations run by different departments of the US Government. Both of them are designed to help ensure that defense related technology does not get into the wrong hands. An export license is a general term for both ITAR and EAR controlled items in which the US Government has granted permission to transport or sell potentially dangerous items to foreign countries or parties. https: //gov-relations. com/itar/

(i. e. science VS mining) ● Should all people on Earth have equal access to space? ● What about the militarization of space?

Space Force: Good Idea or Not for New. Space? “President Trump Monday [June 19, 2018] announced his intention to create a "space force" that would oversee the military's activities off-world. "When it comes to defending America, it is not enough to merely have an American presence in space, " Trump said at a meeting of the National Space Council, which oversees the nation's space policy. "We must have American dominance in space. So important. " "I'm hereby directing the Department of Defense and Pentagon to immediately begin the process necessary to establish a space force as the sixth branch of the armed forces. That's a big statement, " the president continued. Experts were quick to point out that President Trump cannot actually create a space force. A new branch of the military can only be established by an act of Congress — something that hasn't happened since the Air Force was split from the Army in 1947. ” … “Monday evening, Pentagon chief spokesperson Dana W. White released a statement saying the policy board will move forward with the president's directive: "Our Policy Board will begin working on this issue, which has implications for intelligence operations for the Air Force, Army, Marines and Navy. Working with Congress, this will be a deliberate process with a great deal of input from multiple stakeholders.
