| Description: | The business regarding any space related activities is limited by on-orbit failures, launch failures and the amount of supplies that can be carried as part of a space mission. In the common spacecraft, it is possible to identify “expendable’ sources, such as on-board fuel, power batteries or critical subsystems. Once these vital supplies are depleted or critical failures occur, the spacecraft can no longer function routinely leading to the end of service, factually the final loss of investment. Many benefits can be extracted from the application of OOS inside the current space mission project management philosophy. In this report the rationales, current studies, challenges and an outlook on future potential OOS markets are identified and compared with other studies. This report includes a comprehensive analysis of the engineering, economic, policy and legal aspects of the OOS, considering several assumptions for short term, mid-term and long-term scenarios. |
