Emerging Frontiers in Earth and Space Science Enabled by Public-Private Partnerships

Session ID#: 82543

Session Description:
Public-private partnerships are an enabler of substantive science results and economic benefit. These outcomes, when aligned, create a novel pathway towards the sustainability of activities that might otherwise not be explored. The value of public-private partnerships has been demonstrated through government utilization of commercially-sourced Earth observations, commercially-provided lunar surface payload delivery of science instruments and technology demonstrations, Earth science applications, hosting science payloads on commercial satellites, and numerous other examples. This session highlights contributions from public and private organizations that showcase science-focused activities that integrate independent capabilities from both sectors to accomplish goals of mutual benefit. Of particular focus are activities that outline the lifecycle of these partnership-enabled science activities, emergent areas of work that are uniquely accessible through these cross-sector partnerships, balancing scientific and commercial goals, and lessons learned and best practices useful to others considering to explore similar partnerships.
