Abstract
After a long period shaped by governmental and scientific influences, the space sector has been shaken up by numerous breakthroughs in the mid-2000s, grouped under the generic term « New Space ». Through the study of the evolution of this ecosystem, this work proposes a characterization of New Space, considered as a set of disruptions composed of new entrants, new applications, new technologies, new regulations, new processes, and new financing methods. But, beyond this, it emphasizes that these disruptions feed on their interaction and interdependence. Finally, this richness of New Space leads us to identify the numerous implications for economic and managerial sciences, both in terms of research programs and teaching.
