NewSpace 2011: How Commercial Space Can Enable Science

Commercial Space is entering a new era that promises lower cost and more frequent access to space. By concentrating initially on the small and the practical, and setting aside current needs of the existing market, major strides are being made. Space Scientists need to adopt this approach. It won't be easy, but by rethinking priorities and aggressively incorporating new technologies, experimental space science can be reborn, inspiring another generation with dramatic new explorations of our Solar System, neighboring planetary systems, and the grand sweep of the Universe beyond.
