Emerging Space Markets book cover

How has space exploration’s shift from a government-dominated industry to an increasingly privatized environment influenced the market? Are the major players still in the US and Russia? Which investments attract the most competition and innovation?

In this third episode, Dr. Stella Tkatchova, a project manager in the European Space Industry and author of Emerging Space Markets, walks through today’s space market. She explains how China’s rising power in space technology has disrupted the business, and why companies have turned their sights (and dollars) to lunar exploration. Plus, Stella highlights her recent webinar on the lunar economy and predicts how countries will address governmental borders while inhabiting the moon.
