Space activities are currently in a transitional phase: the shift
from publicly financed to private activities is a result of reduced
public funding and increased commercial space opportunities. This
leads to an increased commercial space marketing mix and marketing
management. A classical 4Ps' approach is proposed, covering the
Product, Price, Physical distribution, and Promotion of space
activities. Special emphasis is placed on technology transfer,
spin-off, and intellectual property aspects, as well as on aspects
of space economy, such as alternate financing schemes like PPP
(Public-Private Partnership) and sponsoring. However, space
activists require broad public support and the exploratory aspect
of space activities, the Space Frontier' dimensions should not be
ignored. For this reason, the philosophical dimension as an
integral part of the marketing mix is elaborated in detail. The
approach is illustrated with two case studies: commercialisation of
the International Space Station (ISS) and the emerging Space
Tourism market.
