Those who try to develop their products and conduct research beyond the Earth's atmosphere are coming to see life through a partnership with the National Laboratory of the International Space Station and NASA. NASA, for its part, is acquiring new resources to aid in its exploration and discovery missions. Through these partnerships, the world is benefiting from the simplicity of those who are taking their ideas to the limits of gravity. From satellite deployment to transportation to space research, a vibrant commercial space economy is evolving and now worth over $ 345 billion! Mike Reid is the manager of the ISS's Office of Business and Economic Development at Johnson Space Center. He explains some of the benefits of NASA's investment in the commercial space economy. “Commercialization of low Earth orbit frees the resources that NASA needs to continue exploring space. As NASA prepares to return to the Moon, visit Mars and continue to engage with other space missions, we will always need a platform in low Earth orbit. This platform allows for staff training, development of advanced systems and basic and applied research. However, expanding the use of the space station for commercial companies opens up a new market. By joining the commercial sector, we can continue our space exploration, providing access to a platform that helps generate jobs, generate revenue and, ultimately, create many new products that help people on Earth Are beneficial for " In terms of research, many companies are using the ISS National Laboratory in the United States to conduct their own research and development research on microgravity technology. These include companies known as Procter & Gamble, who used the station to study colloids, such as shampoo and cloth softener, with the aim of improving the quality and shelf life of their products. Merck, a multinational pharmaceutical company, uses the National Lab to study the growth properties of three-dimensional protein crystals. Your work may lead to a more effective delivery system for cancer treatment. Even companies not well known at the moment are seeing huge dividends from their research. Lambdavision, for example, is using microgravity conditions at the station to advance the development of treatments for the effects of retinal degeneration, aimed at restoring the vision of those affected by it. In addition to research opportunities, the space station contributes to expanding the space economy in other ways. Read explains: “The capacity of launch providers such as SpaceX and Northrup Grumman has grown dramatically over the past decade. The cost of placing cargo into orbit has dropped dramatically, opening the space market for many other non-governmental entities that previously could not afford to access space. Now SpaceX has brought astronauts to the American ground station for the first time since 2011, and for the first time in a privately owned launch system. The commercial crew program provides a large long-term benefit for private companies and NASA. Today, thanks to the space station, commercial entities and other non-governmental entities are entering the space economy in significant numbers. In addition to improving the quality of life for people on Earth, what these new partnerships can do together will take the space market and NASA's biggest missions to new heights.

Korkma, sönmez bu şafaklarda yüzen al sancak;

Sönmeden yurdunun tüten en son ocak.

O benim milletimin amatördır, parlayacak;

O benimdir, o benim milletimindirebilirsiniz.

Çatma, kurban olayım, çehreni ey nazlı hilâl!

Kahraman ırkıma bir gül! Ne bu şiddet, bu Celâl?

Sana olmaz dökülen kanlarımız sonra helâl…

Hakkıdır, Hakk'a tapan, milletimin istiklâl!

Ben ezelden beridir hür yaşadım, hür yaşarım.

Hangi çılgın bana zincir vuracakmış? Şaşarım!

Kükremiş sel gibiyim, bendimi çiğner, aşarım.

Yırtarım dağları, enginlere sığmam, taşarım.

Garbın afakını sarmışsa çelik zırhlı duvar,

Benim iman dolu göğsüm gibi serhaddım var.

Ulusun, korkma! Nasıl böyle bir imanı boğar,

“Medeniyet!” Dediğin tek dişi kaldı canavar?

Arkadaş! Yurduma alçakları uğratma, sakın.

Siper et gövdeni, dursun bu hayâsızca akın.

Hakk'ın…

Kim bilir, belki yarın, belki yarından da yakın.

Bastığın yerleri “toprak!” Diyerek geçme, tanı:

Düşünseniz binlerce kefensiz yatanı.

Sen şehit oğlusun, incitme, yalantır, atanı:

Verme, dünyaları alsan da, bu cennet vatanı.

Kim bu cennet vatanın uğruna olmaz ki feda?

Şüheda fışkıracak toprağı sıksan, şüheda!

Canı, cananı, bütün varımı alsın da Huda,

Etmesin tek vatanımdan beni dünya cüda.

Ruhumun senden, İlâhî, şudur ama emeli:

Değmesin mabedimin göğsüne namahrem eli.

Bu ezanlar ki şahadetleri dinin temeli-

Ebedî yurdumun üstünde benim inlemeli.

O zaman vecd ile bin secde eder-varsa-taşım,

Onun cerihamdan, ilâhî, boşanıp kanlı yaşım,

Fışkırır ruh-ı mücerret gibi sırada naşım;

O zaman yükselerek arşa değer belki başım.

Dalgalan sen de şafaklar gibi ey şanlı hilâl!

Olsun artık dökülen kanlarımın hepsi helâl.

Ebediyen sana yok, ırkıma yok izmihlâl:

Hakkıdır, hür yaşamış, bayrağımın hürriyet;

Hakkıdır, Hakk'a tapan, milletimin istiklâl
