Space Is an Economy

The space economy is all the work, products, and money connected to space. It includes rockets and astronauts—but also weather reports, maps, phone calls, farming data, television, banking time signals, art, music, research, and brands.

You do not have to fly to space to take part. A business may buy satellite data. An artist may send a digital work on a mission. A school may run an experiment. A brand may create a product whose trip to space can be proven.

Keep these facts

Government, companies, schools, investors, creators, and customers all take part.

A space experience is something you do. A space asset is something with ownership or usage rights.
