Space Commercialization has long been an objective for NASA. The traditional means for accomplishing this objective has been technology transfer, the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer programs, as well as the more recent advent of the Commercial Space Centers. However, since 1998, NASA has adopted a more aggressive posture toward advancing space commerce, by identifying and pursuing opportunities for innovative collaborations with the private sector. Among the objectives of these collaborations has been: to advance the development of space-oriented and space-related business; to reach beyond NASA's traditional constituencies in business relationships; and to enhance the taxpayer's return on investment by leveraging a confluence of interest between private sector investment and public sector needs. Over the last few years, NASA's human spaceflight programs have pursued several of these innovative opportunities. To that end, the human spaceflight programs are in the process of reflective self-assessment to derive "lessons learned" for NASA's future commercialization efforts from recent agreements and experiences. This paper will present the synthesized results of that analysis. .
