| Abstract | The report is structured as follows: 1) Section II provides background information on the role of the space sector in Florida. It is presented to help the reader understand: 2) Why space is important to the current and future economy of Florida. 3) The advantages Florida has that provide a foundation for its continued leadership in space transportation. 4) How the space market is in transition and why it is important for Florida to act now. 5) Section III is an assessment of the various segments that comprise today's space market. This section begins with a definition of the space market and then presents information on 12 market sub-segments. This structure is used as a means of exploring the constantly changing dynamics of the space sector and for identifying market opportunities that the state of Florida could consider. 6) Section IV presents a course of action for the state with a set of strategic recommendations. After considering the dynamics of the space market and the strengths, weaknesses, and status of the space industry in Florida, a series of recommendations are presented. The recommendations are aligned with the two key goals for Florida to achieve: retaining leadership in space transportation and diversifying Florida's space economy. |
