Abstract There were a number of questions relating to the business model and plans of MirCorp. G. Weyers said that it was unclear whether there would be sufficient funding to develop the Mini-Station, although MirCorp is working on this. It is hopeful that ties with “show business” and the flight of such a highprofile figure as Lance Bass in November 2002 will help to gather broader support. It was pointed out that for a private company to own such a high-cost fixed asset can be financially detrimental. However, the commercial access to space facilities depends on the agencies’ approach to commercialization and compatibility with the private operator’s commercialization plans. MirCorp believes that there is good support for this role, with the governmental partners and the International Space Station (ISS) providing the science efforts, and private entities working on commercialization aspects
