Abstract

The objective of this chapter is to present the demand for commercial launch services, introduce space agencies commercial space transportation programmes and analyse their economic impacts. The chapter will describe the role of commercial programmes in the context of the evolution of NewSpace markets and future space agencies exploration missions. The final recommendations will be related to NASA COTS, CRS and CCDev programmes in the context of encouraging the creation of sustainable commercial NewSpace markets, development of low-cost launchers, new markets and space applications.

Nächstes Kapitel Commercial Space Markets and Stakeholders

NASA Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) and Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) are NASA programmes for delivering cargo to the ISS, Commercial Crew Development programme (CCDev).

In particular for the companies that are developing human-rated transfer vehicles like the Dragon, Cygnus and the CTS-100 under NASA COTS programme.

In 2016 the BEAM module was launched and docked to the ISS, and several days later it was successfully opened.

Future Mars missions could also be driven by private initiatives similar to the Mars One of sending on a one-way trip future Astronauts to Mars on a one way trip to Mars. At present advocates for future Mars missions believe that SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch vehicle provides the most affordable transportation means.

This market is similar to the targeted ISS RD markets that ISS partners wanted to develop in 2001 when they initiated ISS commercialization.

Funded agreements are the ones under which the commercial crew/cargo services are for concrete NASA missions.

By these types of agreements, NASA encourages these companies to develop innovative technologies by sharing technical requirements for cargo and crew transportation vehicles.

ESA ATV programme had initially planned to have built and launched seven ATV to the ISS. However, only five were launched to the ISS; the ATV was considered by many experts as one of the most expensive transfer vehicles.

NASA successfully demonstrated optical communications from the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) spacecraft at the Moon to Earth, with download rates of 622 megabits per second (Mbps). It also demonstrated an error-free data upload rate of 20 Mbps transmitted from the primary ground station in New Mexico to the spacecraft orbiting the Moon.
