The document summarizes the space economy, which includes all public and private activities related to space exploration, development, and utilization of space resources and technology. It discusses upstream activities like space research, development, and launches versus downstream activities like satellite telecommunications, Earth observation, and navigation. Space activities stimulate economic growth through sectors like agriculture, transportation, and internet access dependent on space infrastructure. While costly, space provides benefits to areas like disaster management, medicine, and urban planning. The document outlines factors and sectors involved in space economies like government budgets, private industry, trade, and innovation, as well as impacts on economic growth, productivity, and social development.

2. What is Space Economy?
 The full range of activities and the use of resources
that create value and benefits to human beings in
the course of exploring, understanding, managing
and utilizing space.
 Includes
 All public and private factors involved in developing,
providing and using space-related products and services
 The scientific knowledge generated by space research
 Space derived products and services

12. The intensity factors (outputs)
 The manufacturing space industry
 The satellite telecommunications sector
 The satellite earth observation sector
 Insurance market for space activities
 International trade in selected space products
 Innovation for future economic growth: Patents
 World wide space launch activities
 Space exploration activities

13. Public-Private Partnerships
 Private sector gains by having access to
IP, facilities, expertise, resources etc.
 Government gains by having access to
private sector expertise, resources,
innovation etc.
 A common man gains by getting
improved government systems/services.
 Traditional roles of Government and
private sector are beginning to shift.

14. The impacts of the space economy
Socio-Economic impacts from space programmes
Indirect Industrial effects
Economic growth (regional, national)
Efficiency/productivity gains
