2010.

Summary/Abstract

Despite its scientific successes, NASA has over the past two decades lost its way, spending billions of dollars on transportation systems that have at bottom been failures. President Obama's cancellation of the costly and unwieldy Constellation program provides an opportunity for genuine reform of the agency and the US space program, through harnessing the innovatory and cost-effective power of commercial entrepreneurs. Examples of the kinds of project they might undertake - including solar power satellites, 'space taxis' and a space elevator - are discussed.

Summary/Abstract

Nowadays we witness a fundamental change in the perception of space-related issues. Once being a symbol of technological race and competition between opposing political systems, space studies have become a part of everyday life and an indispensable means in achieving economic, scientific, political and social goals. This research addresses space studies of Turkey -a late comer but rapidly progressing country in this field-which is recently emerging in the area of high technologies. In this context, major policies and projects which have brought the country to its present level are discussed. The current status of Turkish space industry is defined through SWOT analysis and a proposal for the country's space vision covering the next 20 years is put forward. Strategies and policies that will be supportive in achieving the proposed space vision are introduced.
