230157325.Pdf NewSpace 2012: New Profits, New Products, NewSpace July 2012, Hyatt Regency, Santa Clara, CA The Space Frontier Foundation’s annual conference is the most important commercial space conference in the nation. This is the fourth year the conference has been in Silicon Valley and we are pleased to continue holding the world’s most stimulating commercial space conference here. The NewSpace market is undergoing rapid expansion, similar to the Internet explosion of the 1990’s, due to efficient business practices, a wide spectrum of technology, and almost prescient investors. Thursday, July 26, 2012 – Developing Products and Demands Thursday is packed with an exciting line up of speakers and panelists. We will examine different models of partnerships that lead to new services and products in the “Nurturing New Ideas” panel. We also highlight the space activities that are being pursued right now in the “Not Your Traditional Commercial Crew and Cargo” panel, as well as the efforts by individuals and private citizens to make space relevant to everyone in the “Democratizing Space” panel. We also bring back the NASA Center Director panel by popular demand, and don’t miss the SpaceX sponsored STEM panel featuring Bill Nye. Friday, July 27, 2012 – Supply Lines to Space Profits On Friday we will start of with exploring where opportunities abound for new space space business oppor- tunities. We kick-off with a panel on “Space Investment: Building a Viable Industry” where we will discuss the challenges and rewards of starting a new space business. The “NewSpace Business Plan Competition” will build on this theme and the 10 finalists will present their business plans to a panel of experienced judges and hope they walk away with the $100,000 first prize. For lunch we will be joined by Eric Anderson discussing his latest venture planetary Resources and its quest to mine asteroids. We will close with the “Space Alternative Architectures” panel focusing on near term opportunities to combine systems currently under development in new and innovative ways to speed space development and commerce. Saturday, July 28, 2012 – Settling Into Space On Saturday, we look to the near future and the next generation of technologies and trends that will influence commercial space and the expansion of humankind’s presence in the Solar System. Rick Tumlinson will kick us off before looking at the next steps of human settlement with ”The Earthlight Institute Presents: Mars Colony 2030”. Next we look at the future that is already unfolding with ”The Endgame of the Google Lunar X Prize” which will explore what happens after someone wins the Prize? Join us for lunch with Ed Lu, a former U.S. astronaut and Chairman and CEO of the B612 Foundation. NASA’s Chief Technologist opens the afternoon, followed by more discussion on technology with ”Approaching the Tipping Point”. George Whitesides, President and CEO of Virgin Galactic, will deliver our closing keynote. We finish the day with the star-studded Opening the Space Frontier (On a Budget) panel, looking at what we can do with current technology.

We need to move with a sense of urgency and make space access and exploration a priority among our peers and our nation. Now is the time to celebrate the achievements of those who have taken this challenge and also encourage others to get in the race. This is also a time to change the old bureaucratic mindset of space exploration and bring the civil and commercial efforts together to further our cause. We are living in an exciting time in the history of space access and exploration. These next few months and years will have a significant impact on our future efforts. NewSpace 2012 is our opportunity to come together with like minded people, share ideas, and make our dreams a reality. Together students, government employees, NewSpace start-up companies, leaders in the field, and those who have a passion for space can truly make an impact. NewSpace is a time to grow the industry by starting businesses, making deals and creating jobs. Take advantage of all the resources and opportunities provided at NewS- pace 2012. Rarely do you get to be in a room full of people wanting the same goal, coming from diverse backgrounds with the abilities and assets to make it happen. Immerse yourself in the discussions about our future, such as the STEM education panel, which will give conversations on how to build up our youth to take our place. Don’t miss the opportunity to get a chance to learn the latest in commercial-civil partnerships with the NASA Center Directors panel. Learn how to begin a business with innovative ideas at the Business Plan Competition, which year after year has brought new companies to further our cause. Then celebrate and share with us the recent successes we have had with the NewSpace Gala awards. Brace yourself for the opportunities and challenges ahead and welcome to NewSpace.

  • Newspace: an Era of Entrepreneurial Branding
    NEWSPACE: AN ERA OF ENTREPRENEURIAL BRANDING A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication, Culture and Technology By By Shalina Chatlani, B.A. Washington, DC April 24, 2018 Copyright 2017 by Shalina Chatlani All Rights Reserved ii NEWSPACE: AN ERA OF ENTREPRENEURIAL BRANDING Shalina Chatlani, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Evan Barba, Ph.D. ABSTRACT With the rise in space entrepreneurial companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin, the modern day space sector paradigm appears to be much different that of a NASA-led past. In the mid-90s with the rise of frustration over NASA’s perceived inability to return to the Moon or pursue a Mars mission, a number of space frontier advocates decided to take the ambition into their hands under a so-called “alt.space” turned NewSpace movement, which positioned NASA and its aerospace partners as slow-moving and uninspiring “OldSpace.” This thesis unpacks the rhetorical origins of this terminology and the actionable differences between the two camps, ultimately to find that NewSpace is a continuation of the traditional public-private partnership framework that NASA and the U.S. Government has pursued since before the days of Apollo. Despite this reality, so-called NewSpace companies are certainly taking over part of the messaging around how society ought to be expanding into the space frontier away from a government agency. In observing how NewSpace companies manage to rhetorically, but not effectively, brand themselves as different this research posits a question of whether there are serious implications to the intrinsic individualistic and ultimately profit-seeking motives of space entrepreneurs influencing the public’s perception of what ought to be happening in space in the place of a cautious government agency intended to serve public welfare.

Part 1 1 of 228 Supporting Commercial Space Development “When a new frontier is opened, the new territory always looks vast, empty, hostile, and unrewarding. It is always dangerous to go there, and almost impossible to live there in loneliness and peril. The technological capacities of the time are always taxed to the utmost in dealing with the new environment. The explorations require huge investments of both public and private funds, and the returns are always hazardous at first…The organization, capital, and equipment required for the first exploratory efforts are so large that people tend at first to think only in terms of governmental and military actions; and only later do they conceive the new territory as simply an extension of their present territory and their present economy….an effort of prophetic imagination is what is required of us as citizens, so that we will not…leave the making of the future to others.” - Ralph J.

  • K-1 Small Satellite Missions
    SSC00-IV-5 K-1 Small Satellite Missions Gary Lai and Debra Facktor Lepore Kistler Aerospace Corporation 3760 Carillon Point, Kirkland, Washington 98033 (425) 889-2001 [email protected], [email protected] Dr. Robert C. Parkinson Astrium, Ltd. Gunnels Wood Road Stevenage, Hertfordshire SG1 2AS England 44-1438-773484 [email protected] Abstract Kistler Aerospace Corporation is building the K-1, the world’s first fully reusable aerospace vehicle. By reusing each K-1 multiple times, Kistler plans to reduce the cost of access to space while providing a reliable launch on-demand capability to low- earth orbit and beyond. The K-1 is designed to carry a wide range of payloads to a variety of orbits. Kistler and Astrium Ltd. (formerly Matra Marconi Space UK) have initiated an effort to design reusable dispensers for multiple small payloads for use on the K-1. One of these dispensers may be used to deploy small satellites during the K-1’s flight test program. Kistler is investigating the feasibility of flying dedicated, multiple small payload missions. Such a mission may launch multiple small payloads from a single customer or small payloads from different customers. To facilitate ride-sharing opportunities, Kistler may issue an Announcement of Opportunity for multiple small payloads to fly to a predetermined orbit at a predetermined date. The orbit would be selected to be compatible with the requirements of as many small payload customers as possible. To avoid expensive recurring costs, small payloads would make use of standard interfaces and verification plans determined by Kistler. Kistler may employ the services of a broker to coordinate integration of multiple customers.
