Team

Project Description

This task is focused on supporting industry development through outreach, training, and research. Primarily this work falls into three categories (a) supporting industry development efforts (such as FAA COMSTAC), (b) leading workshops that educate and engage emerging leaders through industry viability studies and exposure, and (c) supporting conferences related to the emerging commercial space industry through presentations, logistics, and other means.

Project Outcomes

This task directly supports the training, outreach, and research functions of the FAA COE, particularly in areas of space transportation industry viability. Activities supported by this task impact the degree to which stakeholders of the commercial space industry are informed and involved within the context of the FAA-AST mandate to encourage, facilitate and promote the safe development of commercial space transportation industries. Inclusion of young professionals and students in this process is critical for sustained efforts and grass-roots support.

Summary of Output

Near-Term: Develop a COE CST commercial space transportation research road-map by conducting workshops.

Far-Term: Implement the strategy for commercial space transportation EFP using analysis tools and techniques at the intersection of engineering and business.
