How Will a Multi-use Spaceport Really Work?

Abstract

NASA’s Kennedy Space Center has undergone a significant transformation since the conclusion of the shuttle program in 2011. In less than five years’ time, the Center is now home to four manned space flight programs and a fifth program is expected to follow. KSC has firmly re-established itself as the place to launch humans into space. However, this transformation did not happen in a vacuum. Fifty years of cultural, political, policy and bureaucracy had to be systematically addressed –and are still being addressed- to allow this transformation to benefit all the users of the Kennedy Spaceport. Join this diverse panel for a vibrant discussion on how today’s KSC balances both the government and commercial sector’s interest while preparing for the future of the spaceport
