In-orbit servicing such as that envisioned by ATLAS can contribute to space commercialization is discussed. However, commercialization process could be considerably enhanced by focussed public funds from organizations such as NASA and ESA in developing the R&D infrastructure to support these potentially commercial applications of space technology. There are however legal issues which need greater clarification with regard to in-orbit servicing, though lessons from launcher services believe these issues are readily resolvable.
