This report evaluates potential impacts of commercialization of space on U.S. space policy and space defense needs for the future. Historical trends of U.S. space commercialization and U.S. space policy form a foundation for projecting space commercialization out to the year 2025. The report contains tables and figures of space vehicle launch statistics, satellite launches, satellite lifetimes, capital investment in satellites, revenues from space industry, and other quantitative data. The study concludes that future U.S. space defense must include security needs of U.S. space-based commercial assets. (Author)
