as managers of the National Oceanographic Partnership Program and the extended oceanographic science community stand to directly benefit through access to New Space opportunities. In the near term, the approaches discussed in this report open the door to rapid and lower cost technology demonstration flight opportunities.

Those benefits might be defined broadly to include military, economic, scientific, educational, and environmental benefits. CONCLUSION: The Hybrid Space Architecture shows great potential as a framework for a new space ecosystem integrating timely, traditional, and New Space industries to deliver cost-effective and flexible space capabilities in support of a broad array of national missions and objectives.

government and academic institutions have produced high-value/low-cost advancements in space science and technology, including satellite platforms and payloads, ground segment communications, mission and payload operations, and science data product generation and distribution. RECOMMENDATION: As part of its ongoing relationship with academic institutions, the Office of Naval Research should examine emerging advanced sensor and associated technology opportunities that benefit future ocean science objectives and missions.2 CONCLUSION: The commercial space industry's tremendous growth and rapid evolution have generated highprofile successes, and signs indicate that this trend will continue to accelerate.

In the case of the Office of Naval Research, space science procurement practices are artificially constrained by traditional approaches in ways that limit them from taking full advantage of available New Space opportunities related to the rapid demonstration of the ocean and coastal sensor technologies under development for the National Oceanographic Partnership Program. RECOMMENDATION: The Office of Naval Research together with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, as the joint managers of the National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP)

However, the capacity for building SmallSat services can be accelerated by the alignment of commercial SmallSat capabilities to HSA needs -- this would reduce the time needed to reach a fully capable space ecosystem. Similarly, marketdriven forces and sustained government investment programs could also accelerate technology, infrastructure, and process support responsive to customer and community needs and requirements.
