The commercial space industry is undergoing a paradigm shift from the time when governments and very large space companies dominated the industry. A confluence of laws allowing commercial space companies to operate in unprecedented ways, new technologies enabling new commercial space applications, and an influx of risk capital has drastically changed the space industry landscape. As small and medium-sized companies enter the commercial space realm, they will seek a competitive advantage, and universities and the NASA space centers are positioned to offer such advantages. The commercial space industry has recently become an active area of technology partnering and licensing, even for technologies that have experienced poor licensing performance in the past. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory is seeing unprecedented technology transfer activity in the areas of spacecraft navigation, mission design, space antennas, thrusters, radio occultation, and specialized satellites. Intellectual property rights and partnering play a crucial role in the ability of the private sector to invest in these technologies and to drive space technologies forward. Participants in this burgeoning field seek the most cutting-edge innovations to attain a competitive advantage, and it is crucial for those in the university and public sector to gain an understanding of the market forces that are driving the commercial space business.
