Research on the prior era of space activity has advanced our understanding of learning from failures, project management, and new forms of innovation. The new space era is upon us - distinguished by private sector organizations like Elon Musk's SpaceX as partners with government agencies, not only suppliers and contractors, and other new organizational dynamics. The new era raises many fascinating organizational questions from the unprecedented new technologies and organizational forms that create them, to new power dynamics of public-private-partnerships, to the ideologies in play from wealthy entrepreneurs with unprecedented influence. It also invites us to revisit non-market strategies of corporations and implications for grand challenges and sustainability. This symposium aims to advance understanding of organizations in the new space era and inspire future research.
