If there is something NewSpace has redefined is the way risks are taken when it comes to designing and building space systems. NewSpace has created its own flavor of Systems Engineering, which has almost nothing to do with the “historical” discipline of Systems Engineering school of thought. Early stage NewSpace organizations do not only have the challenge to design and build a mission-critical complex artifact such as a spacecraft but also to design the whole organization around it, which makes them very vulnerable and prone to failure. It all indicates our dependency on satellites will only increase, which means orbits are getting crowded. NewSpace has the responsibility of making an ethical use of space to ensure sustainable access for the generations to come.
