Abstract

All major space policy developments worldwide were presented in the previous section of Part I, in an attempt to clarify the principal space faring nations’ strategies in 2010 and 2011. In the section bellow, there will be a brief discussion on developments in technology related areas, including access to space technologies and policies. The aim of this section is to clarify how the strategies already presented above interact with and influence specific space programmes and related research and development projects.
