America’s Achievements In Space

 Developed a Series of Higher Performing Launch Vehicles, Culminating in V, the Most Powerful Rocket Ever Produced

 Executed a Well Planed Series of Missions Concurrent with Development Which Enabled Manned Expeditions to the Moon

 Developed Manned Orbiting Laboratories, First and Then, Though Collaboration, the International Space Station

 Developed a Partially Reusable Launch System to Support Station Development and Habitation Which Made 135 Flights with a 98.5% Success Record

 Developed a Series of Expendable Launch Vehicles to Support Deployment of USAF and National Security Systems

 An Extensive Series of Robotic and Exploratory Missions to Better Understand our Planet, Our Solar System, our Galaxy, and Universe

 By Extension, Supported Unprecedented Technological Development in Information Systems, Electronics, Life Support and Countless Other Areas, and Stimulated Technology Education

The “Present”

 Still Only Two Countries in the World with the Capability of Launching Humans into Space – But the U.S. Is Not One of Them  Or – Perhaps More Accurately, the U.S. Currently pays Russia for this Capability

 NASA has Finally Announced Plans for a New Exploration-Class Vehicle but it is at Best Six to Seven Years Away – Even if Its Development Can Survive Political and Economic Turmoil

 NASA Science Missions, While Boasting Significant Recent Accomplishments, Are Now Being Severely Curtailed Just When We Are Beginning to “Know What We Didn’t Know”

 The U.S. Still Retains An Impressive Set of Vehicles for Military Applications, and Retains Dominance in Military Space, But the Cost of These Systems is Unsustainable, and Large, Monolithic are Now Vulnerable Targets

 Despite the Voracious Consumption of and Reliance on Bandwidth, the Vast Majority of Commercial Launches are Contracted with Foreign Commercial Companies

How Did We Get Here and Where are We Going?

Changing Priorities In Space Development  Simultaneous US Investment in Apollo, ICBMs and SLBMs in 1960s and 70s  Large Government Spending as % of Budget – “Vital Importance”  Robust US Industrial Base  Establishment of U.S. as Predominate Space Power Both Manned and Un-Manned

 Waning Investment and National Interest in 80’s and 90’s  Reduced Government Spending as % of Budget – “Priority” NASA Budget < 1% of Federal Budget  Consolidation of Industrial Base  Advent of “Commercial Space” market

 “Evaporation” of Investment and National Interest in 2000s  Extremely Limited Government Investment in Technology Deployment Lack of Clear Direction  Anemic Industrial Base; Loss of Skilled Personnel  Significant Increases in Cost

“The U.S. is at a Crossroads and Facing An Uncertain Future Unlike any We Have Seen in Decades” - Jim Maser, President, PWR to Committee on Science, Space & Technology , 3/2011

The Changing Landscape of Commercial Space

 While U.S. Interest in Space has Continued to Decline, It’s Relative Importance and Necessity for Everyday Life has Increased  Military – Drones, Surveillance, Secure Communications, Troop Correspondence, etc  Commercial – Telcom, GPS, Satellite TV, Google Maps, Zillow, VSAT transactions, etc.

 Many New Markets In Commercial Space  COTS/CRS, CCDev,Tourism, Exploration, Mining, Etc.

 Many New Entrants into Emerging Commercial Space Launch Industry

 NASA Now Realizes that They Must Partner with Industry

 Private Industry Must Now Take the Lead for Major Space Development Programs

 Space Exploration Must Become a Cooperative, International Endeavor

What is “Commercial Space”?

 Private and Publicly Traded Companies Supported American Space Development Activities (Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, Martin, Lockheed, Grumman, etc.)

 First Commercial Spacecraft – Telstar 1 – Launched July 10, 1962 (Government Funded)

 First Commercial Launch Company – Arianespace – 1980

 First “Entrepreneurial” Commercial Space Company – Orbital Sciences Corp. – 1982  Transfer Orbit Stage (TOS) for Shuttle Bay Satellite Deployments

 First U.S. Commercial Launch – II BSB-R1 satellite launch Aug 27, 1989

 First Privately-Funded Space Launch Vehicle –Pegasus – Orbital Sciences Corp. -1990

 First Strictly Commercial Launch Company – , Formed April 1995  First Launch March 27, 1999

 First Privately Financed, New Development Space Company – Space Exploration Technologies (Space X) - 2002
