Economy and Business of Space: A World Scientific Reference on Finance, Innovation and Human Impact of Space Exploration
Editors: Jingning Ao (Morgan State University), Gianni De Bruyn (San Diego State University), Raja Roy (New Jersey Institute of Technology), Gideon Markman (Colorado State University)
This book will explore NewSpace - the rapidly evolving, market-driven, innovation-focused frontier of space exploration. We're looking for insights on the commercial, scientific, legal, and policy dimensions of space activities, from post-Shuttle advancements to humanity's journey to Mars and beyond. As the space economy grows, this will be a go-to resource on the evolving roles of governments, private enterprises, and key players shaping our future in space AND on Earth.
This book is scheduled to be published by World Scientific Publishing Co (WSPC). Founded in 1981, WSPC has grown into a leading academic and professional publisher with a global presence, releasing approximately 600 new titles and over 180 journals annually.
