Featuring contributions from many of the most prominent contemporary figures in the US aerospace community, Defining Aerospace Policy provides unprecedented insights into the ways in which aerospace policy is developed and implemented. Based on a wide range of real-life case studies and the personal experiences of those directly involved, its coverage includes some of the most influential and wide-ranging policies of modern times.

Topics include the privatisation of the Canadian air navigation system, government-industry cooperation, Leasecraft, NASA and the evolution of the hush kit, US activities to reduce launch costs, the emergence of a spaceport policy, and VentureStar. Additional issues in institutional restructuring are addressed, such as the problem with the FAA.

Contributed in memory of Frank Hoban, the book compiles the work of a NASA-funded team at George Mason University focusing on various institutional aspects of aerospace policy and the aerospace industry. It also explores new directions for using insights gathered from NASA and other programmes.

The intended readership includes the management of aerospace companies and government agencies, especially in North America but also elsewhere, including Europe (ESA), Russia, and Japan. Additionally, researchers and graduate students in university departments, agencies, and other facilities will find this book invaluable.
