The new era of Space exploration is rapidly evolving, transforming from a government-led endeavour to a vibrant industry driven by private enterprises and international collaborations. This one-week intensive course, 'The New Space Economy,' offered by Maastricht University Summer School, delves into the multifaceted world of space commercialization. We will explore the historical milestones of space travel, the rise of private space companies, and the ethical, economic, legal, and geopolitical dimensions of space settlement and exploration. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the space economy's theoretical foundations while acquiring practical skills to analyse and engage with this dynamic sector. By examining real-world case studies and engaging in interactive discussions, students will be equipped to critically assess the opportunities and challenges of space commercialization. This course is designed for those aspiring to contribute to the space industry or enhance their knowledge of this cutting-edge field.
