New Space: The final frontier?
Recommendations
for New Space
With any groundbreaking
technologies, markets will always
look for advantageous cost benefits,
reliability of services, credibility of
results, and a trustworthy framework.
The recommendations then are clear.
The industry needs to offer:
* Standardization of data formats
and protocols.
* Enhancement of data
management and processing
infrastructure.
* Implementation of onboard data
analytics.
* Articulation of a direct and
coherent value proposition.
Additionally, there are two other
business models which are worth
considering: mission-as-a-service
(MaaS) and ground-station-as-aservice
(GSaaS). MaaS allows clients
to design satellite missions tailored
to their specific needs, eliminating
the burdens of satellite ownership
and operation. Meanwhile, GSaaS
helps simplify satellite data
processing by removing the need
for companies to manage their data
infrastructure. Here one needs to
ensure that reliable ground services
are available, as any disruption can
trigger widespread consequences.

This article was inspired by the work of Samir Khan,
Ph.D., in his SAE Edge™ Research Report Redefining
Space Commerce: The Move Toward Servitization.
As an associate professor of aerospace engineering
at the University of Tokyo, Khan's research is focused
on the practical applications of intelligent systems. In
2016, he received the prestigious Japan Society for
the Promotion of Science fellowship award for
developing an informatics platform for nextgeneration
health monitoring services.
Aside from Redefining Space Commerce, Khan is
the author of an earlier SAE Edge™ Research
Report-Towards MRO 4.0: Challenges for
Digitalization and Mapping Emerging Technologies-
as well as two SAE books, No Fault Found: The
Search for the Root Cause and Spacecraft System
Health Management: Current Practices and
Emerging Technologies.

movement and storage of satellite data across
international borders introduce non-trivial
questions regarding data sovereignty.
Overall, in the rapidly changing field of New
Space, transparency is the key for building trust
and ensuring accountability. A lack of consistent
transparency practices emerges as a critical aspect
which could impede on the growth of this
industry-an industry with potential as limitless as
space itself. n
