# About Us ## Mission Welcome to the virtual home of efforts at Harvard Business School to understand, contribute to, and shape the development of the commercial space economy. Here, you will find links to the research being done at the School, affiliated faculty and staff who are working on these topics, relevant events, and more. We hope, through our efforts and this site, to spur scholarship on commercial space, provide a focal-point for research-driven discussions of it, and help to open the space sector to a broad range of talented individuals. ## Affiliated Faculty + Staff [### Jeffrey Bussgang ](/people/jeffrey-bussgang)Senior Lecturer of Business Administration General Partner, Flybridge Capital Partners Jeffrey J.
