The partnership will identify space sector areas that can be prioritized for private investment funding, with the Small Business Investment Company program committing over 60% of its capital to space technology projects. The initiative is expected to help small businesses in the space industry, with NASA’s missions to the Moon and Mars creating business opportunities.
