A Geosynchronous satellite (GEO) completes one revolution around the world every 23 hrs and 56 minutes in order to maintain continuous positioning above the earth s sub-satellite point on the equator. A medium earth orbit satellite (MEO) requires a constellation of 10 to 18 satellites in order to maintain constant coverage of the earth. A low earth orbit satellite (LEO) offers reduced signal loss since these satellites are 20 to 40 times closer to the earth in their orbits thus allowing for smaller user terminals/antennas.

Issue No.1: Why should anyone care? Stating the obvious: 1.Space is a PLACE for commerce, manufacturing and tourism 2.Space platforms provide communications and vital monitoring of Earth s environment 3.The lessons we learn in space can result in breakthroughs for Earthbased businesses 25 1
Issue No. 2: What s different today? Answers: 1.Private interest is taking over from Governments: X Prize, Bigelow Aerospace, SpaceX, etc. 2.Technology has become more affordable (600kg in LEO for $7M) 3.Development is moving from a «cost-plus» model to a Silicon Valley model driven by angel investors and venture capital 26 2
Issue No. 3: So how close are we, really? Answers: 1.Several large projects will come to fruition within 1-5 years (suborbital tourism, cheaper rockets, space habitats) 2.Admittedly, many basic tools & products are still missing 3.They cannot be expected to come from Government or Prime contractors 4.Venture-funded startups may fill need to fill the innovation gap 5.These startups represent new investment opportunity 27 3

DEFINING NEWSPACE
- The Space Economy (NASA, 2007) - The full range of activities and the use of resources that create and provide value and benefits to human beings in the course of exploring, understanding and utilizing space. - New Space includes - Companies that are likely to be flatter, flexible organizations that are consumer focused, innovative, willing to take risks, and focused on new technology solutions. - In comparison to new space companies, - Traditional space companies are more likely to be highly structured and focused on established lines of business, often with the government. They are also more likely to be established in sectors with high value offerings, low sales volume, and low growth. 48 DEFINITIONS Source: Hay, J. et al, Global Space Industry: Refining the Definition of New Space, AIAA 2009-6400, AIAA SPACE 2009, 14-17 September 2009, Pasadena, California,
