Interplanetary Tourism in Our Time

By IGI Global on Jan 31, 2011
Marketing interplanetary exploration? A topic that was once nothing more than a futuristic thought is becoming a major consideration in economic growth. A new era of space-based technology and interplanetary exploration will produce cost-effective solutions and innovative technologies to fulfill current societal needs.

IGI Global's recent release, Space-Based Technologies and Commercialized Development: Economic Implications and Benefits, authored by Stella Tkatchova (TU Delft, The Netherlands), examines the overall marketability of tourism in outer space, including business case studies on celestial solar power and space debris that demonstrate the potential of cosmic technologies in the context of interplanetary business. It aims to identify, describe and analyze the benefits to national space agencies, space companies, non-space companies and private investors, from the commercial use of space-based technology and services from human spaceflight and interplanetary space missions. The author, Stella Tkatchova, analyzes the different aspects of commercialization of space technology and the new markets and space applications in the context of today's society needs. She also analyzes market trends taking place in today's' space industry and its competitiveness, the changes taking place within the industry and the changing space agencies industrialization policies, as well as an analysis of the space tourism market. The business case studies she includes focus on the mitigation and removal of space debris as well as a focus on the use of solar power satellites for energy provision.
Tkatchova believes that space-technology can, "offer to non-space companies the unique opportunity to exploit technologies that will result in the development of new markets, applications, and technologies, as industrialization of space technology will bring benefits to society in the areas of science, environment protection, disease prevention, and technology innovation."
In the text she makes several observations. One in which she points out that "new developments taking place in the global space arena will impact not only national space industries, but will also bring benefits to national economies. In 10 years space agencies would have changed their industrial policies and some agencies would have implemented programs for encouraging space applications and commercial crew and cargo markets development."
