Launching Into The Future: 75 Years of Excellence In Space Research at RAND

Abstract

RAND is proud to celebrate 75 years of excellence in space research and analysis. Bringing quality and objectivity to bear on critical policy issues, including the challenges and opportunities humanity confronts in space, is core to RANDs mission. Indeed, since the publication of Project RANDs first reportPreliminary Design of an Experimental World-Circling Spaceshipin 1946, our research and analysis have been inextricably linked to RANDs contributions to space policy. In the past 75 years, RAND has produced more than a thousand reports related to space. In this document, we spotlight a small number of those reports to highlight the range of our contributions and celebrate our commitment to making a difference for decades to come.
