Privatisation and commercialisation of space activities

Coming to grips with the ongoing privatization and commercialization of space for the purpose of your particular projects or in your particular fields of operation should allow you to enhance your business case considerably – but requires answers to many difficult questions. Which private commercial initiatives are allowable within the present legal and policy framework? How should such initiatives be structured, to benefit optimally from the exiting framework? What should – and conceivably could – be changed in terms of those frameworks in order to accommodate or even stimulate, rather than obstruct, your business? What liabilities result, and how could they be insured against?

The experience which Black Holes can offer you to come to grips with these overarching developments in this field is multifold, as it stems from a wide range of projects which deal with the overarching aspects of these developments.

Further, in specific sectors many projects and studies have been undertaken as regards issues of privatisation and commercialisation in such sectors; see for example launching and space transportation, satellite communications, satellite navigation and space tourism and private spaceflight.
