The Year in Space 2011/2012

Chapter 1. European Space Activities in the Global Context
Abstract
In the reporting period covering the second half of 2011 and the first half of 2012, the world economy seemed to be on a successful path out of the financial and economic crisis. The booming economies of China, India, Brazil, Russia in particular, and some other emerging and developing countries were providing impetus to global economic recovery. Due to strong export orientation, industrialised countries, such as Germany, had benefitted from demand from these countries. Thus Germany had record growth rates and declining unemployment.

Chapter 2. Developments in Space Policies, Programmes and Technologies Throughout the World and in Europe
Abstract
All major space policy developments worldwide were presented in the previous section of Chap. 1, in an attempt to clarify the principal space faring nations’ strategies in 2011 and 2012. In the section below, there will be a brief discussion on developments in technology related areas, including policies and access to space technologies. The aim of this section is to clarify how the above presented strategies interact with and influence specific space programmes, and related research and development projects.

Chapter 3. The Effect of the Financial Crisis on Political Decision-Making
Abstract
We Europeans, who are today experiencing to different extents the effects of the financial crisis, tend to think that this is a worldwide phenomenon. That, however, is not the case and the global picture is mixed at least. Many space nations around the world, such as China, Russia, India and Brazil, are in a different situation. Russia has just announced that its space budget will increase substantially during the coming years. At the same time, there is no sign that China will reduce its ambitious efforts in space science, exploration and strategic capabilities. The United States, accounting for over half of the world’s spending on space activities, is currently witnessing an enduring economic stagnation combined with political disagreement on its federal budget. Although politicians in Congress have agreed upon certain issues, many challenges need to be resolved in the near future. As long as the issue of federal spending remains unresolved there is uncertainty as to how defence and space budgets will be affected in the coming years. Over the last couple of years, the U.S. space budget has already diminished in relative terms vis-à-vis other nations. While in the early 2000s U.S. spending accounted for 75% of global spending on space, this number has now dropped to approximately 60% – a remarkable drop for a relatively short timeframe.

Chapter 4. The Psychology and Reality of the Financial Crisis in Terms of Space Cooperation
Abstract
This contribution examines the effects of the financial crisis both in terms of capability to cooperate internationally and in terms of the psychological preparedness for such engagements.

Abstract

Chapter 6. Space: the Last Frontier for Socio-economic Impacts Evaluation?
Abstract
The last meeting of the ESA Council at Ministerial level, in November 2012 (CM12) in Napoli, Italy, was a clear and visible step forward to move space closer to mainstream public policies. With its political affidavit “Space for Competitiveness and Growth” the CM12 meeting, at which time ESA Member States were required to make important public investment decisions, emphasised how clearly the space sector is now required to demonstrate that it will deliver value for money and that the proposed public investment will benefit the economy and society.

Chapter 7. The Case for the Eumetsat Polar System (EPS)/Metop Second-Generation Programme: Cost Benefit Analysis
Abstract
Observations from meteorological satellites are crucial inputs for the generation of weather forecasts and, in order to derive an estimate of the benefit-to-cost ratio of the polar-orbiting EPS/Metop-SG satellite programme proposed by EUMETSAT and ESA, an assessment of the socio-economic benefits of forecasts within the EU, in a number of key areas, is overlaid onto an analysis of the impact of polar-orbiting satellite observations on forecast skill, to produce a likely benefit-to-cost ratio of 20 for the proposed programme.

Chapter 8. The Benefits of Human Space Flight; the Discourse at a Time of Financial Crisis
Abstract
In developing human space flight, having knowledge of the past, present, and future in all its permutations would be a gift that many would not refuse. With this idealised situation out-of-reach, in plotting the future we can still look to the hazy present and place reliance on what is known of the past, even with hindsight being subjective and incomplete. While we are aware of the manifold details of most of the historical moments in human space flight, the appreciation of societal benefits of such moments in the broader sense has been much like an after-thought. Thus, when considering the way forward from a future benefit perspective, we do so from an obscured vantage point, wondering “… one giant leap for mankind” to where?

Chapter 9. Space, Youth Unemployment and Professional Status in the Financial Crisis
Abstract
The European Space Policy Institute (ESPI) invited the Executive Director of the Space Generation Advisory Council (SGAC) to make a presentation at the 6th ESPI Autumn Conference, Space at a time of Financial Crisis, highlighting the current situation of space youth in the current economic situation. Apart from the discussions generated subsequently, the main outcome of that intervention was the conclusion that there is a lack of data about this particular topic in the space sector, in contrast to the substantial amount of data that exists on youth unemployment in general. Unfortunately, in Europe, countries such as Spain, Portugal and Greece are reaching youth unemployment levels of close to 60%. This study is, therefore, a result of the main conclusion and proposal of the presentation at the 6th ESPI Autumn conference: the need to gather data from young professionals in the space community to evaluate their current status, needs, and trends. In response to this proposal, action was taken, and a survey was prepared and distributed among young space professionals from all around the world. In this report, the main findings of the European participants who participated in the survey are presented, together with some interesting conclusions and recommendations.
