The ‘New Space Economy’ is a term used to describe the rapid growth of the space industry through an increasing number of commercial entrants offering new space-based products and services. It offers a vision of the future where these products and services become more integrated into global infrastructure and provide greater benefits to daily life-on-Earth as well as enhancing our ability to explore and learn from the space environment. However, this vision depends on access-to-space becoming more affordable, more frequent and more reliable than classical launch systems.
