Space Economics

Climate change and environmental disasters will become the biggest threat to national economies. Monitoring environmental changes and analysing real time data for future climate change models is becoming of crucial importance in understanding climate change. The importance of Earth Observation satellites has increased in recent years, as they provide real-time data for climate change. In addition, human space flight can contribute to the development of closed life support systems, which can improve our biological systems and help reduce pollution through improved water purification processes. Alternative energy sources are also becoming of crucial importance, technological solutions for solar power generation either in GEO or on the Moon could become of critical importance to national economies.

Microgravity environment is a scarce resource and space exploration is not only expensive, but also scarce and available only to the richest countries.
