About the Book

This volume on space commerce offers the insights of commercial leaders from the US, Australia, CIS and Europe. A number of specific topics are covered, including the manufacturing of various materials in space such as glass and semiconductors; the production of pharmaceuticals; and the application of remote sensing and telecommunications. The contributors focus on the private sector; how it can participate in space activity as well as profit from it. They elucidate the requirements needed of space users and the types of facilities that may be provided commercially. They examine the space business environment in the depth of governmental space investment. Many papers provide the perspectives of private industry on how to solve a multitude of problems that face space commerce. This collection should be useful not only to those involved in the commercial exploitation of space, but also to forward-looking members of industry and government who wish to keep abreast of the developments of the field.
