How much is the space industry worth? SPACE INDUSTRY

With an estimated growth of 360 billions dollars in 2018, the global space economy could generaterevenue of more than 1 trillion dollar by 2040

by Stefano Pioppi, Airpress

New Space Economy is now.

The global space economy was worth an esti-

mated 360 billion dollars in 2018 according to

the recent “Global commercial space economy

overview” by Bryce Space and Technology.

227.4 billion belong to the satellite industry,

while 80.7 came from government budgets.

European government budgets are estimated

in 11.5 billion, in comparison with US 50.1 billion

and China 8.5 billion.

In ten year, the growth registered for global

satellite industry has been 1.7 times the global

industry growth. In 2018, the number of space

launches carried out throughout the world

surpassed 100 for the first time since 1990.

There were 114 space launches globally in 2018,

including 24 commercial (21 for SpaceX, compa-

ny leader). 39 were launched by China, 31 by US,

17 by Russia and 11 by Europe.

In the July update to its report, “Investment

Implications of the Final Frontier”, Morgan Stan-

ley Research estimated that the global space

industry could generate revenue of more than

1 trillion dollar by 2040: “high levels of private

funding, advances in technology and growing

public-sector interest is renewing the call to

look toward the stars”.

Reusability of launchers is one of the driver for

the growth of space economy.

“We think of reusablerockets as an elevator to lowEarth orbit – said MorganStanley Equity Analyst,Adam Jonas – just as furtherinnovation in elevatorconstruction was requiredbefore today’s skyscraperscould dot the skyline, so toowill opportunities in spacemature because of accessand falling launch costs”.

Another driver is the development of new space technologies by private actors, with ambitions for exploration (human and robotic), space tourism and a growing interest by public-sector for a huge number of applications, research and

sub-orbital flights. “Yet – says Morgan Stanley Researh – the most significant short and medi-um-term opportunities may come from satellite broadband Internet access”.

In 1969 the University of Bern contributed to NASA’s Apollo 11 mission with the Solar Wind Composition Experiment (the “Swiss flag” on the Moon). A founding member of ESA, Switzerland has been heavily involved in space exploration in many sectors, from payload fairings for the Ariane launch vehicle, to helping repair the Hubble space telescope, as well as many other deep space and satellite missions.

Switzerland’s pursuit of accuracy also contributed to transforming our ideas about the cosmos. In 1995, at the University of Geneva, Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz discovered the first exoplanet orbiting a solar-type star, an achievement recognized with a 2019 Nobel Prize. After nearly 25 years, the pioneering discovery of 51 Pegasi B has forever changed

our conceptions of the world. More than 4’000 exoplanets have been discovered to date, revealing that planets are common objects in the universe, that planetary systems are extremely diverse (the solar system is not the rule), and that small planets are much more numerous than larger ones – meaning that Earth-sized planets exist in larger numbers, opening the door for the possibility of life outside the solar system.

Switzerland is still active in helping to shape this revolution in astrophysics by building state-of-the-art instruments and infrastructure, from ground-based telescopes to great space observatories. CHEOPS (CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite), a Swiss-led ESA small mission out of the University of Bern, is a prime

example of continued Swiss commitment to space exploration: a follow-up instrument, it will look at known exoplanets to discover their composition, structure, and atmosphere, while also searching for exomoons and rings. CHEOPS is set to launch in mid-December 2019.

Switzerland has been a discreet but key player in spaceresearch and industry since the 1960s. Its strong traditionof precise measurements and high-tech engineering hasmade it so that almost no space mission flies without apiece of Swiss technology.

How is born T4i?We started in 2006 within the Space Propulsion Group of the University of Padua, working on electric and chemical propulsion systems to cover the needs of nano/micro satellites. After several years of studies, simulations and testing, the technologies we have been developing reached great performances and a maturity level that pushed us to turn these projects into real products and introduce them into the market.

Who is T4i?We are a company born in March 2014 in Pad-ua, Italy, to provide innovative cost-effective solutions for satellites and objects that needs to move in space. We operate in the New Space

As an illustration, allthe major global actorsinvest in this field, with astrong emphasis on thoseactivities and technologicaldevelopment that canfacilitate and improvemilitary tasks.

Economy, a field where new and smaller private companies together with established entities are changing the space panorama offering disrup-tive technologies and services to the society. We are a young and skilled team of passionate people that work together to design and devel-op space propulsion solutions in order to satisfy the demanding market requests.

What are the Propulsion Systems offered?T4i’s key products are small electric and chemi-cal propulsion systems for in-space applications as nano and micro satellites and chemical rocket engines for micro launchers, small upper stages, sounding rockets and gas generators. Our technologies are the result of more than 10 years

Let us consider threeinternational powers: the US,China and Russia.

The US Pentagon has requested an additional

USD 14.1 billion to increase the national security

space budget (14% more than the 2019 fiscal

year)1. The reason lies in both the benefits

of space-enabled operations (in military and

non-military domains) and the challenges arising

by a stronger commitment to space activities of

Russia and China.

China has its space strategy and since 2007

has been testing kinetic counter space sys-

tems nearly every year. As President Xi Jinping

affirmed in 2012, China is entering the road to

“renewal”, and space activities are included in

this effort. Besides several programmes and ini-

tiatives, last January, the country has managed

to land robots successfully on the far side of the

moon, thus being the first country to accomplish

of studies and tests and aim to revolutionize transportation in space and access to space.

What about REGULUS, your electric pro-pulsion system?REGULUS is an EP system for nano and micro satellites that we fully qualified on Earth and that is going to fly in space in the middle of 2020 serving Unisat-7 CubeSATs carrier space operations. Simple, Versatile and Cost Effec-tive, REGULUS provides mobility to satellite platforms and nanosatellite deployers providing up to 1 mN of thrust. The system is conceived for satellite platforms requiring high delta-V (typically in the range from 6U up to 150 kg of mass, 20-60 W of power).

optimisation of transport, information availability, support to military operations or rescue teams are just a few examples. Today, EU interest focuses on those assets that can improve the in-formation and communication systems. Enhanc-ing the capabilities in the space domain, indeed, is paramount for the EU, given its overarching goal of becoming a global security provider.

interests of the nation to master this domain.

Russia also takes part in the “space race”. In May,

President Putin announced that the “preserva-

tion of strategic stability and military parity” de-

pends on Russia’s “ability to effectively resolve

security tasks in outer space” and to develop

military and dual-purpose spacecraft. Today,

Russia owns 134 satellites, being the third largest

We are living in the Golden Age of GNSS. Space-based technology is driving innovation and supporting service delivery in almost all sectors of the global economy – from agriculture and transport to healthcare and telecoms. Satellites and the location-based services that they enable are transforming the way that we live and work. Space innovation is also a major driver of economic growth and job creation, both in Europe and globally. It is the role of the GSA to keep Europe at the forefront of these developments, harnessing space technology for the benefit of Europeans.

It is our motto at the GSA that we ‘link space to user needs’. These are not empty words. Galileo is the only civilian GNSS in the world, so provision of services to end users is our raison d’être. Users have been quick to respond and to embrace the added precision that Galileo and EGNOS have to offer. Indeed, market uptake has surpassed expectations: not so long ago we celebrated the significant milestone of 1 billion Galileo-enabled smartphones on the market, and this number continues to increase steadily in line with the general trend on the GNSS market.

This GNSS market growth is being driven by global macro trends such as digitalisation, big data, the sharing economy and artificial intelligence, all of which use GNSS for position, navigation and timing. According to the latest issue of our GNSS Market Report, the global GNSS downstream market is continuing to grow rapidly and this year the global installed base of GNSS devices in use is forecast to reach almost 6.5 billion, increasing to 9.6 billion in 2029.

Giving a clear indication of how quick the market has been to embrace Galileo, I am happy to note that of the 1.7 billion GNSS units shipped in 2019, more than 40% were Galileo enabled and currently 95% of companies that produce smartphone chips for satellite navigation make chips that enable Galileo. This is in no small part due to our extensive market development efforts at the GSA – our ongoing engagement with the user community means that we know what they need and are able to respond to these needs.

New possibilities are also opening up in road transport, which is a huge GNSS market segment. In fact, in terms of cumulative revenue, road and consumer solutions are forecast to dominate

all other market segments and will account

for a combined 93.3% in 2019-2029. Driven by

technology, connectivity and satellite positioning,

the mobility sector is transforming before our

eyes, and Galileo and EGNOS are at the heart of

this transformation, offering positioning that is

more accurate, available and reliable. We have

recently achieved a milestone in this sector also,

with the successful live demonstration of the first

autonomous vehicle powered by Galileo.

All in all, this is an exciting time for GNSS, a time

when the industry is making a key contribution

to dealing with some of the critical challenges

that we face, while at the same time creating

opportunities for European businesses and

improving the lives of European citizens. At the

GSA we are committed to cementing Europe’s

position as a global space power and to ensuring

that Europeans receive the best possible return

on the EU’s investment in space.

European GNSS Agency (GSA) Executive Director Carlo desDorides speaks to NSE about the role of his agency and thecontribution of GNSS to the global economy.

“Mediterranean Aerospace Matching: building our future” is an international event which will take place from the 25th to the 27th of March 2020 at the Grottaglie -Taranto Airport in Apulia, Italy.

This initiative is promoted by Apulia Regional

Government, the Italian Trade Agency (ITA)

and the Italian Civil Aviation Authority

(ENAC) and is organised by the Technological

Aerospace Cluster (DTA scarl) and Aeroporti Di

Puglia (AdP), with the support of the Regional

Agency for Technology and Innovation (ARTI)

and Puglia Sviluppo.

The event aims to offer a platform to innovative

SMEs and start-ups to meet and exchange views

with representatives of large industrial groups

and international investors interested in the

evolution of unmanned vehicles and services,

as well as exploring the present challenges

and opportunities in the development of

The event will focus mainly on the following areas:• Future robotic and human exploration of Mars

• Earth Observation Climate Change

• AeroSpace and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

• Future Launchers and Access to Space

• Smart cities, space applications and services

• Technology and Solutions: Communication and Navigation, integrated applications

• Digital Infrastructure for U-Space/UTM – rules and regulations

Thanks to the collaboration with ARTI, the Regional Agency for Technology and Innovation, the programme of the event will include specific initiatives for high school and university students, who will have the chance to visit the aerospace exhibition “Village”, to meet and discuss with representatives of the aerospace industries and learn more about new technologies and

unmanned systems (drones) and related satellite

technologies.

The Mediterranean Aerospace Matching

event will present a “Village” for exhibitors

and visitors, animated by a programme of

conferences and roundtables which will bring

together, Italian and European stakeholders,

both from institutions and business sectors, to

share the state of the art, promote innovation

and encourage the development of various

infrastructures in aerospace.

The Village will also include a “pitch arena”

where start-ups and young entrepreneurs have

the opportunity to present their ideas and

innovative solutions for aerospace. A dedicated

jury will award the best projects offering

opportunities to join prestigious international

incubators, or collaborations with leading

companies in the sector.

employment perspectives in aerospace. The Mediterranean Aerospace Matching will be realised in partnership with Leonardo and Banca Intesa San Paolo, and foresee the support of large industries and space agencies.

Reasons why Grottaglie Taranto Airport was selected as the best location for the Mediterranean Aerospace Matching event:

– in 2014, it was authorised as a “test bed” for testing innovative aerospace solutions– in 2016, it was designated as Italy’s first and only spaceport– it is the ‘home’ of leading national and international industries and a natural choice for R&D in unmanned vehicle technologies and systems.

New Space Economy provesto be today an impressive engine of growth. With a global turnover that exceeded $ 400 billion in 2018, according to the latest Space Foundation report, and the prospect of exceeding $ 1000 billion in 2040 (Morgan Stanley estimate) the New Space Economy is now in full development, driven by the will of man to go further and further beyond the boundaries of the known, to engage with ever innovating technologies that highly impact on our daily life.

ming period 2021-2027 the EU Commission is

ready to invest € 16 billion in Space Economy,

and the Ministerial ESA of end of November in

Seville ended with an unprecedented alloca-

tion of resources: € 14.4 billion for the next 3

years. Italy contributes to this budget with €

2.282 billion, almost one thousand more than

the 2016 Ministerial figure, equal to 15.9% of the

total, confirming itself as third contributor to the

European Space Agency after Germany. “This

ministerial established Italy’s leadership in the

core sectors of space technology. From earth

observation to robotics and human exploration,

passing through launching systems, the primacy

of our country at industrial, scientific and

technological levels recognized as preeminent ”,

declared the Undersecretary to the Presidency

of the Council, with responsibility for Space,

Riccardo Fraccaro, at the end of the works. Such

record is also well recognized outside Europe.

Our country, ranking sixth for space power,

New Space Economy, opportunities that grow!The Commitment of Askanews within a fundamental sector, for science and economy.

by Askanews

boasts a complete aerospace supply chain, de-

veloping and processing products and services

for the upstream (launch services, development

and production of satellites, infrastructures,

payloads, sensors, inhabited modules, robotics,

etc.), for the ground segment (operations, secu-

rity, terminals, etc.) along with the chain of ser-

vices and applications (downstream) expressed

in multiple areas (environment, climate, defense,

security, land monitoring, cultural heritage, agri-

culture, aero-maritime spaces, and more).

Thus Italy is a fertile ground for the New Space

Economy, a sector whose relevance to science

and economy led Askanews to devote to it more

and more, with a variety of initiatives: we are me-

dia partner of New Space Economy Expoforum,

we have dedicated a special feature on our por-

tal www.askanews.it to Space Economy, while we

are working on a dedicated a multimedia news-

letter. All this aimed at a sector with numbers

that are destined to multiply with the increase in

the quantity of investments, since - as explained

by the Italian Space Agency President during an interview with Askanews - every euro invested in Space, generates returns, 4 to 7 times greater than the investment.

“Investments in the space sector - concluded ASI President, Giorgio Saccoccia - are those more worth doing, in order to support the growth of the country”. And growth, in Italy, is most needed, today more than ever.
