What is it about?
The implementation of electronics using commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) systems, leveraging open standards and highly adaptive scalability, facilitates cost-effective systems, a common thread across all parts of today’s space exploration. Along with COTS systems, the Space Digital Backbone (DBB) concept that unifies communications across space platforms is helping set the pace for the future of new space exploration. This paper explores how the convergence of these two trends is enabling significant technological innovations in both the exploration and expansion of modern space applications.

Why is it important?
Its not only introducing the term COTS for space applications but proves how COTS products reliable products in space highlighting some examples.
Perspectives
This paper is really important as it explains how Space 2.0 can thrive in a successful manner and be reliable by leveraging well tested COTS solutions.
