Summary:

This video seminar focuses on presenting the fundamentals of an emerging lunar economy, the opportunities and challenges of In-Situ Resources Utilization. It presents the future trends and stakeholders in developing new lunar space markets and the expected direct/indirect economic benefits from lunar exploration.The author looks into the near future of 2035 and discusses topics like: habitation and research on board the Lunar Orbital Platform- Gateway station and in the Moon Village; the collaboration of Space agencies with private companies setting the basis for the creation of an emerging lunar economy; the involvement of NewSpace companies in the search for lunar resources; energy supply for habitats and rockets; a robotic space cargo infrastructure; a lunar construction industry; and space tourism. Dr. Tkatchova reveals that the space resources utilization industry is expected to generate a market revenue of 73 to 170 Billion Euros from 2018-2045. She discusses how competition between launch service providers, satellite manufacturers and operators, will result in reduced time in qualifying and flying payloads and will create opportunities and challenges in developing the emerging Lunar Economy. The author argues that NewSpace companies will need to discover, identify and develop emerging lunar space markets and attract Customers, while space agencies will have to define the direct and indirect economic benefits from Lunar exploration to secure political, strategic and financial support. She further argues that ISRU/Lunar exploitation, lunar telecommunications and in-orbit satellite servicing are markets worth exploring and concludes that NewSpace companies will need to discover, identify and develop emerging lunar space markets and attract Customers. This video seminar is targeted at space engineers, space economists, planers and politicians working at the vision of an emerging lunar economy.
