Abstract
► The new field of space architecture is challenged by a dearth of project opportunities. ► We project the number and type of potential human space systems opportunities over three decades. ► The market drivers are Exploration; Servicing; space Resources; and space Settlement. ► Human planetary exploration is the weakest market generator of space architecture work. ► The strongest is commercial passenger travel coupled with space solar power industrialization.
