NASA and Commercial Space
Symposium
NASA and the Rise of Commercial Space: A Symposium to Examine the Meaning(s) and Context(s) of Commercial Space
Wednesday – March 17, 2021 – Friday, March 19, 2021
Final Session: March 25, 2021
https://www.nasa.gov/centers/marshall/history/nasa-and-the-rise-of-commercial-space.html
From activities in low-Earth orbit to the Artemis program, the commercial space industry is beginning to take on an increased role as innovator in both space access, commerce, and exploration. This growth of commercial space over the past decades offers the potential for a new paradigm for space exploration—one in which industry transitioned from supplier to partner. Still, many questions remain spanning from the most seemingly consequential “How will humanity explore the Moon and Mars?” to the more basic, “What is Commercial Space?” This virtually hosted symposium will explore this transformation and examine the historical context for answering these questions. Our hope is that this historical analysis will inform the relationship between government and industry moving forward.
*The event is free and open to the public. No registration required to attend sessions—simply click on the WebEx links on the web page to login during each day of the symposium. Please send any questions to brian.c.odom@nasa.gov.
