Markets Meeting NASA’s Needs

• Vision: Realization of Global Exploration Strategy Goal “Economic Expansion”

–Private Sector Meets NASA’s Needs

–Better Performance, Higher Efficiency, and Lower Cost, Through Open, Fair Competition

–Economic Sphere Increases as NASA Extends its Reach to Moon and Beyond

• Value to Program Managers

–Increase Performance, Sustainability

–Decrease Cost, Risk

Actions Targeting Barriers

• Investment Barriers

–“Skin In The Game”

–Be Supportive of New Space Markets

• Supply Barriers

–Pay for Capability Demonstrations

–Minimize Claim to Intellectual Property

• Demand Barriers

–Follow Lead of Private Sector

–NASA a Reliable Customer

–Use Creative Programmatic Structures
