Popis: Space agencies and other public organisations involved in space programmes have shown a clear willingness to give private actors a more prominent role, and to adapt their industrial policy and procurement mechanisms accordingly. Among innovative approaches implemented by public actors, the Commercial Orbital Transportation Service (COTS) programme and related cargo and crew transfer capabilities supply and development programmes introduced by NASA to fill the gap left by the retirement of the Space Shuttle provide a successful example.
