New Landscape of Space Exploration: Garage Inventors Garage Inventors Although much of the funding for launch vehicle development ultimately came from military sources during World War II, and later during the Cold War, the earliest American spaceflight pioneers were backed by private investment. In 1914, driven by a desire to personally explore space, Robert Goddard conceived of and patented the components for a liquid-fueled, staged rocket for sending objects to space. Using his own funds, and a grant from his university, Goddard flew the world's first liquid-fuel rocket on his aunt's farm outside Auburn, Massachusetts in 1926. In terms of rocketry, Goddard was America's first garage inventor. His work attracted the support of the Guggenheim family who would provide him with today's equivalent of over $36 million in funding. Other engineers pursued rocketry in a similar way, like Goddard's contemporary Frank Malina. Malina conducted research at the Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology (GALCIT), and in 1942 co-founded the Aerojet Corporation (now Aerojet Rocketdyne, the largest rocket engine company in the U.S.) The garage inventor—also called a hacker, maker, or hobbyist—is a do-it-yourself creator. "Makershops" or "Hackerspaces" (communal high-tech workplaces) exist now for space garage inventors, such as the Mojave Makers group. Citizens in Space, a private non-profit group held a "Space Hacker Workshop" in 2013. The suborbital reusable vehicle industry features several garage inventors, with small teams working with limited resources to develop rockets and spaceplanes capable of temporarily sending small payloads into space.

These satellites tend to be based on standardized kits derived from the Cubesat developed in the 1990s for university projects. Since 2009, NASA has selected 115 of these Cubesat projects, from across 29 different states, for launch into space through its Cubesat Launch Initiative. Building on this rapid-iteration ecosystem, individuals, small teams, high schools, universities, and small companies have expanded on the kit standard to produce a wide variety of low-cost satellites capable of everything from remote sensing to communications. Garage inventors add greater engineering diversity and innovation to the space industrial base.
