Abstract
All of the partners involved in the utilization planning for the International Space Station (ISS) have announced their desire, in some form or another, to “commercialize” a portion of their ISS utilization rights. Although commercialization may mean many different things, the ISS partners are confronted with common problems that block the path towards commercialization. This paper addresses what Canada plans to do to move forward with its commercial program.
This paper is the sole responsibility of its authors and does not necessarily reflect the views of the Canadian Space Agency or the ISS partner nations and agencies.
