INTRODUCTION

The global space industry can be traced back to just over 60 years. During the subsequent spaceage, the world has undergone many changes and the space industry has made a profound impact 

on the way we live and work, shaping the course of history and the world we know today. 

Throughout this period, the United States has remained at the forefront of technological 

innovation and scientific advancement as the world’s preeminent nation for space exploration. 

The space sector has a vast potential for economic growth. The global space industry is valued at 

greater than $400 billion today and is rapidly expanding and evolving. The sector adds tens of 

billions of dollars annually to the Nation’s balance of trade and provides support and stimulus for 

our country’s high-technology industrial base, providing tens of thousands of well-paying and 

skilled jobs. As the sector grows, it provides a unique opportunity for developing a diverse and 

inclusive workforce from the factory floor to the C-suite, advancing equity and economic 

prosperity in the Nation. Worldwide, as more countries enter the space sector we will have 

exciting opportunities for international cooperation, peace, and diplomacy. 

Today the space industry is at a tipping point in the form of changes, challenges, and 

opportunities driven largely by less expensive launch costs and a realization that the use of space 

has great potential for societal benefits on Earth. There is enormous interest in utilizing space by 

small and large companies worldwide. This will require a transformation in the way we operate 

across the entire breadth of manufacturing from academic research to product delivery in order to 

meet industry-relevant challenges of the future. While the government plays a crucial role in 

promoting and supporting research and development (R&D) that is essential for scientific 

advancement and economic growth, the burgeoning commercial space industry is spurring 

investment in research and development, leading to the creation of new and improved 

technologies for a variety of applications. 

The exploration of space has long been a source of inspiration for people around the world 

tapping into the human desire to understand and discover more about the universe we live in. 

The space industry has the power to encourage and excite people of all ages. Its impact on 

education, culture, science, and the economy is undeniable. It inspires young people to pursue 

STEM careers. Space has also played a significant role in shaping popular culture, from science 

fiction literature and film to art and music.

Manufacturing & The Space Economy: Today, space systems development takes too long and 

costs too much, and the high cost of operating in the space industry limits new entrants and 

competition. Manufacturing technology advancements will play a critical role in maintaining 

U.S. industry leadership in a hypercompetitive global environment. In Europe, the European 

Space Agency’s Advanced Manufacturing Initiative has the primary objective of identifying and

spinning-in space business disruptive materials and manufacturing processes. The 2022 National 

Science and Technology Council (NSTC) National Strategy for Advanced Manufacturing2 noted

“advances in U.S. manufacturing enable the economy to continuously grow as new technologies 

and innovations increase productivity, enable next-generation products, support our capability to

address the climate crisis, and create new, high-quality, and higher-paying jobs.” The 2022 

National Strategy for Advanced Manufacturing recommended that space manufacturing be a 

priority for government agencies.

Technology drives exploration and the space economy. NASA’s Space Technology Mission 

Directorate (STMD)3 is chartered to develop transformative, crosscutting technologies that 

enhance capabilities and reduce the cost of NASA, commercial, and other government missions. 

Through STMD, NASA invests in space manufacturing technology activities across the 

technology development spectrum in collaboration with other government agencies, the Nation’s 

aerospace industry, and academia. 

Manufacturing, STEM Education & Workforce Development: The explosion of advanced 

manufacturing technologies and the corresponding education revolution are projected to play a 

significant role in driving innovation and efficiency in an increasingly competitive global space 

marketplace. The overall space industry, advanced manufacturing, and workforce development

all have a close relationship, as they rely heavily on technology and STEM eduation. Education 

and workforce development and particularly STEM eduation provides the knowledge and skills 

necessary to develop and implement the technology used in advanced manufacturing, such as 

digital design and manufacturing, robotics, and materials science. Additionally, many STEMrelated jobs, such as engineers, scientists, and technicians are in high demand in the space

manufacturing industry as the integration of digital and physical technologies are transforming 

the way we work throughout the end-to-end manufacturing operation. This report leverages the 

recent NSTC Interagency Roadmap to Support Space-Related STEM Education and Workforce4

which represents the initial coordinated steps that the Federal government will take and will 

inform future space STEM education and workforce strategy. 

This report is the result of an interagency activity. Recommendations are provided to relevant 

Departments and Agencies for consideration as they formulate priorities, activities, and future 

budget submissions. Assigned dates are projected for the start of the activities. Information on 

progress and completion status will be reported periodically to the National Space Council. It is 

anticipated that each of the recommendations will require further deliberations to understand 

applicable authority/appropriations, cost and schedule resources, impact to current activities and 

investments, and interagency coordination. Opportunities are provided to highlight areas where 

relevant Departments and Agencies can engage further in complementary activities.

PRIORITIZE INVESTMENTS IN NEW AND EMERGING SPACE MANUFACTURING 

TECHNOLOGIES FOR NASA, DOD, AND DOC

Recent advances in technology such as additive manufacturing, artificial intelligence, robotics, 

biotechnology, and new materials are creating new opportunities for space manufacturing. To 

compete globally, it is important for the United States to continue to develop and implement new 

and innovative manufacturing technologies. Advancing these nascent technologies requires

investment in research and development, collaboration and partnership, and an environment that 

encourages continuous learning and innovation. 

Federal interagency collaboration will fast-track innovative solutions by bringing together 

diverse mission perspectives, skills, and knowledge to create a culture of experimentation and 

learning and generate entirely new ideas. Additionally, the federal government should partner 

with industry and academia to invest in applied research and industry-relevant manufacturing 

technologies. The following transformative, cross-cutting technology areas will benefit from a 

concentrated focus and multi-agency collaboration and public-private partnerships.

New and Emerging Space Manufacturing Technology List:

1. Additive Manufacturing: Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is the 

“process of joining materials to make parts from 3D model data, usually layer upon layer, as 

opposed to subtractive manufacturing and formative manufacturing methodologies5.” AM 

allows for the creation of complex geometries and internal structures that are difficult or 

impossible to produce using traditional manufacturing methods and can offer significant cost 

and schedule improvements. AM is dramatically changing the design and manufacturing 

landscape, resulting in a new wave of advanced technologies to build hardware across many 

sectors.

2. Advanced Materials: Materials including composites, ceramics, lightweight metals, 

nanotechnology, and biotechnology that can be used to create new materials infusion with 

improved properties, such as increased strength, durability, and biocompatibility. These 

materials can be used in a variety of space technology applications. Requirements to exploit 

the potential of advanced materials include more efficient methods to identify, partner, 

cleanly extract, and manufacture components using rare earth metals and materials essential 

and largely unique to space systems.

3. Robotics and Automation: Robotics and automation are used to increase the efficiency and 

precision of manufacturing processes, allowing for faster production times and reduced labor 

costs, to allow manufacturing in hazardous environments or to performing tasks that are too 

dangerous for human workers, and to integrate digital manufacturing techniques to enable 

novel methods such as additive manufacturing. Improved use of robotics and automation will 

lead to more reliable, error-free production lines that create higher reliability space systems.

4. Digital Manufacturing Systems: The space industry is becoming extremely data

driven. Almost all modern manufacturing operations, equipment, and infrastructure have 

been to some degree computerized and smart manufacturing systems use advanced 

technologies, such as internet of things, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and digital 

twins, to replace physical work with digital methods to inform, optimize, and automate 

manufacturing processes.

5. Clean and Sustainable Manufacturing: Modern manufacturing technologies allow methods 

and processes that minimize or eliminate negative impacts on the environment and human 

health, while also conserving resources and energy. These technologies enable the design of 

chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous 

substances and provide opportunities for closed-loop manufacturing in which waste products 

and by-products are recycled or reused within the manufacturing process rather than being 

discarded.

6. Electronics Manufacturing: Manufacturing techniques that provide accurate reliability of 

space components at scale and the superior qualities of space manufactured semiconductors.

Examples include radiation tolerant chips by design, GaN and InP components, large focal 

plane arrays, and solar panels. These advances will promote the onshoring of cost-effective 

domestically manufactured electrical, electronic, and electromechanical “triple E” 

components for space cabling and connectors. 

7. Hypersonics: Manufacturing technologies that are critical to the development and ongoing 

advancement of successful hypersonic vehicles is a key factor in the continued growth and 

development of the space industry. These technologies include development of materials, 

thermal protection systems, propulsion systems, and lightweight, high-strength structures that 

can withstand the high temperatures and aerodynamic forces associated with hypersonic 

phases of space flight. 

Recommendations:

1.1 Agencies should create and maintain an inventory of new and emerging space 

manufacturing technology capabilities, as well as a list of gaps, and ongoing activities. Agencies 

should provide awareness and promote leveraging among related federal interagency groups 

including the NSTC Subcommittees for Advanced Manufacturing, Nanotechnology, and 

Materials Genome. (Lead: NASA; Support: DOC, DOD, NSTC) (On-going)

1.2 Engage in partnerships with other government agencies, industry, private sector 

organizations, and academia in space manufacturing technologies. Agencies should seek to 

convene a national consortium to improve communication between government, industry, and 

academia to assess space manufacturing technology opportunities and needs. (Lead: NASA; 

Support: DOC and DOD) (CY 2024Q4)

1.3 Leverage international collaboration and evaluate how partnering with the international 

community to achieve common goals and objectives will enhance U.S. competitiveness. (Lead: 

State; Support: DOC, DOD, NASA) (On-going)

Opportunities:

1.C Ensure that research prioritizes focus on synergistic developments where environmentally 

sustainable technologies target improvements in the effectiveness of space manufacturing 

technology solutions. 

1.D Explore policy ramifications to ensure that space manufacturing technology related goods, 

products, materials, and services are procured from sources that will help American businesses 

compete in space industries. 

EXPLORATION OF EXISTING PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS, FOCUSING ON 

THE EXPANSION OF CURRENT MANUFACTURING USA INSTITUTES TO 

ENSURE A SPACE-FOCUSED OUTCOME

Space manufacturing technology development and application is experiencing significant interest 

from academia and industry as evidenced by the cross-section of participants in the recently 

awarded Advanced Manufacturing Technology Roadmap award from the NIST Office of 

Advanced Manufacturing6. Through the roadmap teaming process, the participants have 

validated interest by industry in space manufacturing contingent upon further technology risk 

mitigation and clear market demand signals. 

Manufacturing USA was created to capture U.S. innovation and with academic and industrial 

partners and turn it into applied technology, ensuring that the U.S. will continue to be a leader in 

global manufacturing into the future. The Manufacturing USA network, shown below in Figure 

1, does this by fostering collaborative development of advanced manufacturing technologies 

through 16 manufacturing innovation institutes and their sponsoring federal agencies; the U.S. 

Departments of Commerce, Defense, and Energy. In 2022, the institutes were engaged in over

700 major applied research and development projects involving more than 2,500 different 

organizations and provided more than 106,000 people with advanced manufacturing workforce 

development and training. The Manufacturing USA model could help advance the development 

of a robust domestic space manufacturing sector by first leveraging current Manufacturing USA 

institutes’ capabilities against space manufacturing challenges.

EXPLORATION OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION REGIONAL 

FUNDING FOR SPACE-RELATED TECHNOLOGY HUBS

The Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration (EDA) provides 

financial assistance to communities and regions to grow their innovation and entrepreneurship 

economies equitably and inclusively,7 and supports critical infrastructure, systems, and networks 

that enable businesses to start, locate, and expand in the U.S. 

EDA makes strategic investments that equip American workers with the skills that innovative 

businesses need to succeed. Building on EDA’s experience building regional economic capacity, 

Congress recently appropriated an initial $500 million to the Regional Technology and 

Innovation Hub (“Tech Hubs”) program8, envisioned as a $10 billion program authorized by the 

CHIPS and Science Act of 2022. Tech Hubs investments aim to enable rapid evolution of 

regional economies toward self-sustaining growth in key industries9, including those focused on 

advanced manufacturing and aerospace, to strengthen U.S. economic and national security and to 

best position the U.S. as the global leader in the industries of the future.

Recommendations:

3.1 Space manufacturing technology entrepreneurship: EDA should explore partnering with one 

or more of NASA, NIST, DOD, and other cognizant agencies on a collaborative funding 

opportunity10 to create capacity for space manufacturing entrepreneurs to incubate and accelerate 

new businesses. (Lead: DOC; Support: NASA and DOD) (CY 2024Q3)

3.2 Regional technology commercialization and demonstration infrastructure: EDA should 

explore partnering with one or more cognizant agencies to create funding opportunities to build 

shared infrastructure (e.g., maker spaces, demonstration facilities, public labs, etc.) that enable 

space manufacturing entrepreneurs to accelerate the pace at which they bring new products to 

market. (Lead: DOC; Support: NASA and DOD) (CY 2024Q3)

Opportunities:

3.A Leveraging existing networks: EDA builds and maintains communities of practice, 

including two focused on the intersection of economic development with technology innovation 

and with manufacturing. EDA should invite relevant agencies to these communities of practice to 

share and learn about strategies that support economies with strong space manufacturing capacity 

or potential.

IDENTIFICATION OF SYNERGIES WITH RELATED FEDERAL PROGRAMS, 

INCLUDING THE HOLLINGS MANUFACTURING EXTENSION PARTNERSHIP 

(MEP) PROGRAM

MEP’s mission is to strengthen and empower U.S. manufacturers and provide them with access 

to the resources they need to succeed. MEP enables small and medium-sized manufacturers 

(SMMs) with projects like cybersecurity, supply chain optimization, industry 4.0, 

semiconductor, food safety, employee training, and raising capital for various improvement 

projects. The MEP is ideally suited to promote and coordinate public-private partnerships to 

assist U.S. SMMs in space technology areas. For example, MEP is aligned with NASA’s 

emphasis in Smart Manufacturing by helping SMMs, including aerospace and transportation 

firms to integrate physical and digital processes within factories and across other supply chain 

functions to optimize current and future supply and demand requirements. These services include 

additive manufacturing, automation, robotics, and cybersecurity.

Recommendations:

4.1 Identify and interact with 10-20 SMMs with potential to expand and/or pivot their

capabilities in the aerospace sector similar to previous efforts with Personal Protection

Equipment suppliers during the COVID-19 pandemic. (Lead: DOC; Support: NASA and DOD) 

(CY 2024Q2)

4.2 Develop at least three partnerships and/or engagements with Manufacturing USA Institutes, 

Federal Agencies and National Laboratories to support space manufacturing technology transfer 

to SMMs for the benefit of the aerospace sector. (Lead: DOC; Support: NASA and DOD) (CY 

2024Q3)

4.3 Collaborate closely with proposed sector specific Space Manufacturing Institute in the 

Manufacturing USA network taking advantage of the strategic and operational synergies 

between the programs. These include issues relating to supply chain, workforce, and

technology/innovation are well considered in discussions and ultimate implementation. (Lead: 

NASA; Support: DOC, DOD, DOE) (CY 2024Q4)

Opportunities:

4.A Facilitate collaborations between SMMs, University researchers, and Community Colleges 

for space manufacturing technology and workforce development using MEP’s existing network 

of ~20 University/Community Center based MEP Centers. 

4.B Enhance MEP’s existing collaboration with NASA to better understand the critical

needs/opportunities for MEP to serve the space technologies sector.

MEET THE RISING WORKFORCE DEMAND IN THE SIB THROUGH EDUCATION 

AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES

The space industry provides support and stimulus for the country’s high-technology industrial 

base, providing thousands of well-paying and skilled jobs. As the sector grows, it provides a 

unique opportunity for developing a diverse and inclusive workforce, advancing equity, and 

economic prosperity in the Nation. Federal leadership of public and private stakeholders will 

promote the sustainment and growth of the SIB. NASA and the Department of Defense are 

charged with space-based missions. Their expertise in the characteristics and growth of the SIB 

make them the most suitable leads for this federal effort. This document advocates a regional 

approach towards three recommendations to be used by NASA and DoD in consultation with 

federal agencies and the NSTC Interagency Roadmap group for Space-Related STEM Education 

and Workforce. 

Recommendations:

5.1 Expand and diversify the advanced manufacturing talent pool for space manufacturing by 

promoting awareness of advance manufacturing careers, engaging underrepresented 

communities, and addressing social barriers for underserved groups. (Lead: DOD; Support: 

NASA, DOC, and the Department of Education) (On-going)

5.2 Workforce training: Explore expanding at least one existing EDA program, such as the 

STEM Talent Challenge to specifically address aerospace training needs in collaboration with 

other agencies. (Lead: DOC; Support: NASA and DOD) (CY 2024Q2)

5.3 Identify MEP workforce development services relevant to the space sector and offer them 

across the MEP National Network. Expanding MEP’s existing workforce services for space 

manufacturing involves collaborating with community colleges, universities, and trade 

associations for appropriate recruitment, retention and retraining efforts. (Lead: DOC; Support: 

NASA, DOD, DOE) (CY 2023Q4)

Opportunities:

5.A Develop, scale, and promote advanced manufacturing education and training by introducing 

regional educators to advanced manufacturing as a component of STEM education, and 

encouraging modernization of legacy regional career technical education programs through 

regionally focused grants and industry-based efforts supporting advanced manufacturing 

education. This effort can be undertaken in consultation with the Department of Labor.

5.B Strengthen connections between employers and educational organizations by encouraging 

SIB manufacturers to expand work-based learning and apprenticeships, and to track changing 

occupational requirements and define new credentials for space-specific advanced manufacturing 

occupations. 

5.C Focus on increasing the diversity in leadership positions across the space sector. 

Representation matters and when (historically) excluded groups see people like themselves in 

positions of leadership, they are more likely to join that sector’s workforce and thus it is critical 

to focus on both ends of the workforce pipeline – from the factory floor to the C-suite.
