The $62B governments spent worldwide in 2008 on space programs has the potential to be dwarfed over the next 50 years by private sector organizations, entrepreneurs, adventurers, and citizens. Pinyon believes that the development of viable and diverse space markets is particularly challenging on two levels – technology and imagination. Only in addressing the how and the why together will commercial markets thrive. We work with organizations and individuals who strive to find opportunity in possibility.

Our practice in space markets looks at significant topics of importance and concern to national space authorities; space market materials manufacturers, suppliers, and contractors; entrepreneurial companies; researchers; and policy-makers:

• Communications
• Intelligence
• Positioning
• Science and space technology development
• Remote sensing
• Space burial
• Space-based manufacturing
• Entertainment/tourism
• Hazardous waste disposal
• Earth transport
• Utilities

We help our clients: evaluate current and projected policy domains; build compelling market models and go to market strategies; inspire stakeholders and funding authorities; develop comprehensive understanding of market ecosystems; evaluate feasibility and scalability of new technologies; and more.
