commercial space

Leasable business area

Commercial space refers to the private-sector space industry—companies that build rockets, launch satellites, and develop technologies for profit rather than as government programs: SpaceX and Blue Origin have transformed commercial space.

The term distinguishes entrepreneurial ventures from traditional government-funded space agencies like NASA.

Commercial space also means real estate used for business rather than residential purposes: The building has commercial space available on the ground floor.
