Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a deep insight to which extent further improvement should be envisaged to ensure and improve the sustainable development beyond 2030 (the Sustainable Development Goals is a set of 17 global goals with 169 associated targets which the state community adopted in 2015). As the world, its environment, economy and society is getting more and more technical advanced, it is of high interest to analyze how space and its various applications can support this development. Once the Goals of the “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” will be achieved new challenges are waiting. The analysis takes into account a proactive use of artificial intelligence for the development based on space infrastructure. Another important aspect revolves around the economic development which asks for further analysis of the cryptocurrencies relationship with space applications and how to use space based cryptocurrencies for development. Environment-wise the challenges for a sustainable development on Earth i.e. water supply, but also in outer space are requested ensuring a sustainable exploration and exploitation of space and its orbital resources. The book also highlights possible contributions of the post-2030 space industry to global economic development based on satellite technology and the enlargement of the scope of application of satellite data in administration and Justice to ensure development of effective, accountable and transparent institutions at all levels to promote growth, stability and security and peace on global level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses space science and communication – one of the main pillars of space science sustainability, an area that has recently become of great importance. In this regard, research and development play a crucial role in sustainability development. However, obtaining essential data in the physical world to interpret the universe and to predict what could happen in the future is a challenging undertaking. Accordingly, providing valid information to understand trends, evaluate needs, and create sustainable development policies and programs in the best interest of all the people is indispensable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Climate catastrophe, natural disasters, public health epidemic and financial crisis have altered human perception of essential resources and technology. In the realm of space law, this discourse leads us to the utilization of space resources procured from celestial bodies through space technologies in order to address modern challenges through futuristic solutions. Space technologies remain the fundamental block of outer space exploration determining which participant shall have the functional access to outer space vis-a-visa its benefits. However, the predicament is that space technologies have the tendency of being monopolized as they are capital intensive, requiring substantial investment to support their research & development, leaving technologically advanced space faring nations with little to no incentive to share their technologies. In space law, the Outer Space Treaty (OST) is one of the core legal instruments amongst the five United Nations Space Treaties, which bases it bases itself on the principle of cooperation with respect to the use and exploration of outer space. While the OST ensures freedom of exploration, it does not guarantee equality in the functional access to outer space. This ambiguity in law raises uncertainty amongst States that desire access to space through the sharing of space technologies. Additionally, the other United Nations Space Treaties have failed to provide States with substantive prohibitions against political, economic or strategic discrimination, in particular with regards to functional access to outer space and space technologies.This thesis explores the socio-economic impacts of limiting access to space technology innovation to a small number of privileged users, and highlights the potential of achieving immense well-being by making space technology widely available through a pluralistic and inclusive platform. The research also proposes to understand the historical and socio-political elements that condition the currently limited access to space technology innovation and then, seeks to evaluate and suggest methods that can be adopted to enhance accessibility of these specific space technologies by adopting affirmative policies, ultimately, contributing to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Lastly, this thesis adopts an intersectional approach and necessitates the denunciation of the Westphalian model of international law that currently dominates the governance of outer space, highlighting the need for a cosmopolitan and inclusive approach that builds upon the concept of 'collective humanity'. The 'essence' of this thesis is - evolution and survivability. To not just show there exists a "common good" in the research but to show tangible and quantifiable results that can help achieve SDGs. Discussion regarding this issue is of the utmost importance because it is critical to the facilitation of human survival and offers immense opportunities for well-being"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, edited by the European Space Policy Institute, is the first international publication, following UNISPACE+50, to analyze how space capacity building can empower the international community towards fully accessing all the economic and societal benefits that space assets and data can offer. New innovation models are increasingly spreading across various sectors and disciplines, including space, which is becoming an integral part of many societal activities (e.g. telecoms, weather, climate change and environmental monitoring, civil protection, infrastructures, transportation and navigation, healthcare and education). The book helps readers construct their own space capacity building roadmaps, which take into account key stakeholders and also new private actors, NGOs and civil society. Starting from a policy and strategy perspective, it addresses key aspects of capacity building, including innovation and exploration, global health, climate change and resilient societies. It outlines the available options and summarizes the ideal programmatic conditions for their successful implementation. Showcasing reflections from a range of senior space professionals around the world, with their unique perspectives and solutions, it provides a rich mosaic in which various cultural and policy approaches to space are translated into actionable programs and ideas so that space may truly benefit all of humankind.

Book excerpt: Overview of Space Technology It has been over 50 years since the rst satellite was sent into orbit, and the impact of space technology can be felt in many aspects in our day to day life. In addition to the convenience of knowing exactly where we are on the planet via GPS satellites; or deciding what to pack for a trip based on forecasts from weather satellites; watching CNNinaremotevillageviabroadcasting satellites;therearenowsomecrucialen- ronmental uses of Space technologies in the areas of natural resources management and environmental monitoring. Remotely sensed data reveals an unparallel view of the Earth for systems that require synoptic or periodic observations such as inv- tory control, surveying, agriculture, business, mineralogy, hydrography, geology, land mass cover, land utilization and environment monitoring. The advancement of remote sensing has made remote sensed data more affordable and available to merge with a variety of data sources to create mash-ups. The amalgamation of these data sources into disciplines such as agriculture, urban planning, web applications, cartography, geodetic reference systems, and global navigation satellite systems, are an important advancement of space applications and space science.
