Advancing Space Resource Investment: A Roadmap for Industry Collaboration and Market Growth

This proposal outlines a strategic architecture aimed at reducing the large initial investment needed to harness space resources by fostering industry collaboration. By employing an incremental “stepping stone” approach, the framework identifies key technological and functional gaps and provides a pathway for investments that promise at least double the return on a total investment of under a trillion dollars. The model emphasizes the immense potential of space resources such as asteroids and lunar minerals, paving the way for a thriving space market.

Investment Table -TBD Continue Work -Further expand level of detain in model -Bring in Industries to provide more detail for costs Architecture for Increasing the Space Market Daniel Hettema, Scott Neal, AnhQuach, Robert Taylor System Engineering & Operations Research, George Mason University To-Be Model Context Need Statement & Requirements Scenarios S  - Functional Gap Analysis (TBD)    - Technology Gap Analysis (TBD) Simulation Outputs • Need StatementCurrently, the required investment needed to capture space resources is too high. A high-level architecture that shows how through an incremental “stepping stone” approach the total investment could be lowered, as industry collaboration is increased. The architecture will provide a road map for industry investments with a minimum of 2x return on investment from a total investment of less than one trillion dollars • Space has resources that could be used on Earth, or in space to develop a space market Space Market Potential Market • Space • Asteroids - minerals • Moon- minerals Gap: Capabilities and/or technologies for taking advantage of those resources do not currently exist “Stepping Stones” Overview: -The gray areas indicate the amount of resource. -The rest of the areas are the functions over time -Yellow indicate a waiting time until triggered by a function to start processes. • Current Market • Limited by • -Launch costs • -Government Funding • -People Interest EFFBD Key Functions: Key Assets: Time “Obtaining economic benefits from commercial space, including tourism and space solar power…should be the major thrust of our space enterprise.” -SSI Director Dr. Lee Valentine (2002) Conclusions & Future Work ROI Calculator Transitional Architect Compare full lifecycle costs on Earth to those in space -Mining Full cycle on Earth vs. Space • Based on To-Be model’s: • -Element attributes • -Estimated functionality costs • ROI = Revenue – Investment -
