2 CASIS: MANAGER OF THE ISS U.S. NATIONAL LABORATORY 2005 Congress designates the U.S. portion of the International Space Station as a National Laboratory 2010 The President signs the NASA Authorization Act of 2010 into law Extends ISS operations until at least 2020 Directs NASA to establish a NGO for the National Lab 2011 NASA issues Cooperative Agreement Notice CASIS selected in July CASIS operations commence August 31

3 CASIS STRUCTURE NGO, non-profit established to: Develop & manage a diverse R&D portfolio encompassing basic through applied research based on national needs and ISS capabilities Stimulate & manage the use of ISS by OGAs, academic institutions, and commercial entities Communicate the value of the ISS $15M annually from NASA, ability to generate other sources of revenue NASA provides transportation and on-orbit logistics

4 NEW OPPORTUNITY Access for U.S. interests to internal and external facilities and platforms 50% of available U.S. launch and on-orbit resources Costs associated with launch and on-orbit operations are fully subsidized Access to Implementation Partners, GFE, expertise

5 VALUE PROPOSITION Reduced Cost Support R e s e a r c h e r s Reduced Burden Resource Availability Commercial Access C o n n e c t to I m p l e m e n t a t i o n P a r t n e r s C o o r d i n a t e W i t h N A S A I S S N L R E S E A R C H

6 NATIONAL LAB UTILIZATION TO DATE To date >$15M obligated for ISS NL research across 40 projects >$2M non-nasa funds committed to targeted flight opportunities Commercial Partnerships with Boston Museum of Science, MD Anderson, Baylor College of Medicine, MIT, MassChallenge, Boeing, NSTA, The Broad Institute, etc. Flight Project Agreements with P&G, Merck, Cobra Puma, Novartis, numerous universities MOAs in place and/or in development with NIH, NOAA, USDA, VA, DoD, NRL (Navy)

7 OTHER NATIONAL LAB USERS

8 WHY IS COMMERCIAL UTILIZATION IMPORTANT Achieves original intent of the ISS, realizing U.S. investment Direct impact on U.S. citizens emphasizes this ROI Extension of the ISS is dependent on utilization and the relevance of the research conducted Commercial organizations and academia that focus on tech transfer to the marketplace are key to addressing this challenge

9 HOW CAN COMMERCIAL UTILIZATION BE ACHIEVED Demonstrate that the fundamental questions re: microgravity can be answered Create opportunities to address these questions seed funding, partnerships, grant challenges, outreach Familiarize the research community at large with the CASIS business model and utility of ISS Streamline process while preserving safety and integrity of crew and vehicle Achieve repeatability, reduce time to flight, and lower cost

10 A PARADIGM SHIFT IN HOW WE CONDUCT SPACE BUSINESS IS REQUIRED This is not your father s NASA ISS construction is complete; capabilities are in place; the focus is now on utilization Funding must transition into a model within a competitive service market Cost drivers must be identified and understood, and changes enacted in order for this to be realized

11 WHAT CASIS IS DOING TO ATTRACT COMMERCIAL UTILIZATION Ecosystem Marketing and Business Development Grant Opportunities Solicited and Unsolicited Geographic cluster that has key elements Academic institutions with tech transfer Innovative R&D industry Funding sources (partnerships, investment, philanthropy)

12 ROLE OF OUR PARTNERS Broaden the use of ISS as a research and technology platform Promote use of ISS, reaching non-traditional audiences Maximize investment and new capabilities while minimizing cost a win-win for all

13 EXAMPLE: NANORACKS Approach Invested private capital to build a business model around ISS research services Partnered with other organizations when they didn t have the expertise in-house, enabling fast, repeatable, inexpensive access to the ISS Tackled new research needs to encourage broad ISS use Outcome NASA has signed a Phase III SBIR contract, and contract services are available to other government agencies

14 IN SUMMARY Humankind s greatest technological achievement is open for business, and its value must be recognized NASA and the government have provided a grand opportunity to use the ISS for commercial research and development Incentives are necessary in order to demonstrate the value and create the marketplace CASIS is taking the lead in creating utilization opportunities within in targeted ecosystems Our partners are critical to the success of the ISS National Lab

15 WHAT CAN WE ACHIEVE THIS WEEK Understand the discoveries, applications and opportunities of the ISS National Lab Identify the real drivers to cost and constraints. More importantly, suggest solutions Re-think the business approach to supporting ISS activities.
