Overview
Introduction |
Investment in space activities generates a wide variety of returns. Individuals,
companies, and governments continue to commit time and money each year to the goals of developing
new space capabilities and reaping the rewards of existing ones. Much of the space activity in 2012
was centered on preparations for new programs and endeavors, as countries laid out their plans for
the future.
The United States continued to adjust to a post-Space Shuttle era in which it now relies solely on
Russia for crew transportation to orbit, while taking steps to rebuild its own human spaceflight
capacity. Nations such as Russia, Brazil, and India set forth bold plans for increased investment in
the coming years, with new launch vehicles, satellite systems, and exploration missions in the works.
China made steady progress in its human spaceflight program, Japan examined options for greater
participation in the global commercial launch market, and Europe brought a new launch vehicle
into operation.
The commercial space industry maintained a healthy growth rate, far outpacing increases in
government spending. Wealthy individuals and private equity firms are demonstrating their interest
in the space sector by investing in existing companies and starting new ones. Commercial interests
are likely to play an even more significant role in the space
industry in the coming years if government austerity
measures reduce the amount of funding available for
national and multinational programs. In addition to the
known benefits of space activity, this wave of commercial
activity has the potential to generate unexpected returns
that reward early-stage participants.
1.0 | Space Products and Services
Space technology is used every day to make life better.
Individuals are using satellite positioning technology to add a
layer of information over the physical world, taking advantage of
smartphone applications that display location-specific video at
tourist sites in India, or goggles that provide navigation and tracking
information as the wearer skis down a mountain. The U.S. government relies on data from Earth observation
satellites to forecast and respond to weather events, such as the wildfires in Colorado in the summer of 2012, and
Superstorm Sandy, which pummeled the east coast of the United States in October. Elsewhere in the world, Earth
observation programs are being used to improve irrigation practices in South Africa and to monitor potential
human rights violations in war-torn areas such as Syria and Sudan.

construction, and consumer applications. The tubing bundle on the left,
wrapped in flexible aerogel, met the same performance requirements but
is both 30% lighter and 33% smaller than the tubing bundle on the right,
wrapped with traditional insulation material. Credit: Dekoron Unitherm
Many industries continue to benefit from the ability of space assets to provide communications and to broadcast
content on a global scale. These services are proving essential in rural areas and in countries that are rebuilding their
infrastructure, such as Iraq and Afghanistan. Some industries leverage spinoff technologies that were developed for
space but are applicable to other fields. When Volkswagen conducts crash tests on its cars, one of the tools it uses
is a flexible sensor originally developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) to measure pressure on the wing

of a space plane. Small companies also benefit from
spinoffs, as happened in 2012 when a new startup
company, Ministry of Supply, received support through
crowd-funding website Kickstarter to begin production
of clothing that uses textile technology developed by
NASA for spacesuits.

promoting the use of space technology in other fields.
The 2012 edition of NASA’s annual Spinoff report
estimates that spinoffs have saved at least 444,000 lives and resulted in the creation of 14,000 jobs, in addition to
generating revenue and reducing costs. These results are from a sample of fewer than 200 technologies out of the
thousands that have been created over the years.
The Space Foundation recognizes world-changing spinoffs in its Space Technology Hall of Fame. The two
technologies inducted in 2012 were FireWatch, which uses spacecraft sensor technology to detect wildfires in their
early stages, and flexible aerogels, which were developed to insulate spacecraft and are now used in a variety of
industrial applications. The Space Foundation also maintains a Space Certification program that enables companies
to market their products to the public on the basis of their connection to space.
2.0 | The Space Economy
The global space economy grew by nearly 7% in 2012, reaching a new record of $304.31 billion. As in previous years,
the vast majority of this growth was in the commercial sector, which now constitutes nearly three-quarters of the
space economy, with government spending making up the rest.

Overview
Commercial space products and services such as broadcasting, communications, and Earth observation made
up the largest portion of the space economy, growing by 6.5% in 2012. Commercial infrastructure and support
industries, which constitute a slightly smaller proportion of the total, grew at a faster rate of 11% during the year.
Overall government investment in space barely grew during 2012, increasing by slightly more than 1% from 2011
levels. This growth was unevenly distributed—some countries decreased their budgets as projects ended and
others increased their budgets and announced new initiatives for the years ahead. The U.S. space budget remains
the largest single segment of global government spending, although it grew by only 1.4% in 2012. By contrast,
several smaller programs received sizable increases—budgets grew by 27% in Brazil, 30% in Russia, and 51% in
India. Other countries, such as Canada and Italy, decreased their levels of investment in space during the year.
Within the space industry, mergers and acquisitions remained a useful tool for companies to position themselves
for anticipated changes in government spending. The volume of such transactions in 2012 decreased by 9% from
2011, and valuations were generally lower. At the same time, publicly traded companies on the U.S. stock markets
experienced a healthy increase in share prices, leading the Space Foundation Indexes to gains of 14% to 30% for
the year, as compared to 16% for the NASDAQ and 13% for the S&P 500.
3.0 | Space Infrastructure
The infrastructure that supports space activity includes a variety of elements such as launch vehicles, space
stations, satellites, rovers, landers, and ground facilities. Russia, China, the United States, and Europe conducted
the majority of launch activity in 2012. The global
total of 78 orbital launch attempts in 2012 was
down 7% from 84 in 2011, but it was in line with
the average for the previous five years. North Korea
attempted two launches in 2012, the second of which
became the country’s first launch to reach orbit. ESA
conducted the first launch of its new Vega rocket in
February 2012, providing the space agency with a
small-payload launch capability in addition to the
larger Ariane 5 and Soyuz vehicles.
Human orbital launch system development
continued in the United States as NASA divided
$1.1 billion among three companies working to
develop the next generation of space launch systems
capable of transporting astronauts into space
A test version of NASA’s Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) awaits environmental testing at a facility
within the next five years. Work also continued
in Colorado. The MPCV will be subjected to a variety of tests to confirm its ability to safely fly astronauts
through the harsh environments associated with deep space exploration missions. Credit: Lockheed Martin
on NASA’s Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, a
system capable of carrying astronauts to the Moon
and other destinations beyond Earth’s orbit. Closer to home, the International Space Station (ISS) continues to
be supported by a multinational fleet of spacecraft. In 2012, private firm SpaceX delivered cargo to the ISS via its
newly developed Dragon capsule, the first time that a non-government spacecraft had fulfilled such a role. China
also reached a new milestone in its space program in 2012 as a crew docked with and boarded Tiangong-1, an
experimental orbital laboratory module launched in 2011. Further missions are planned in the coming years that
are expected to lead to a permanently crewed station.
In 2012, 119 satellites were placed into orbit on behalf of 24 countries and international organizations. This brings
the estimated total of active satellites to 1,050 as of the end of 2012, an increase of 6% from 994 at the end of 2011.

The Space Report 2013
Overview
Satellite communications capacity has increased significantly over the past five years due to the growth of demand
for high-definition television and broadband internet connections. Satellites were also launched to enhance coverage
for remote sensing, Earth observation, and positioning, navigation, and timing.
Ground facilities are an integral part of space infrastructure, providing launch support, satellite control and
telemetry, and scientific data processing. Major orbital launch sites are under construction in Russia and China,
while several existing U.S. facilities operated by NASA and the U.S. Air Force are being refurbished and modified for
use by companies developing commercial vehicles for cargo and crew transportation. In the astronomy community,
newer and more powerful observatories are under construction to enable a better understanding of the universe. In
2012, the organizers of the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) decided to site the component facilities for the telescope
in both South Africa and Australia, a process that is
expected to stimulate the science and technology sectors
in both countries. Comprising thousands of individual
dishes, the SKA will be the largest and most sensitive radio
telescope in the world when it is complete.
4.0 | Workforce and Education
The global space workforce numbers in the hundreds of
thousands. These highly skilled workers are responsible
for building and maintaining space infrastructure and
developing new technologies and capabilities. In the
United States, the size of the space workforce decreased
by 4% from 2010 to 2011 (the most recent full-year data
available from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). This
was the largest single-year decline in the previous decade

and it continued a five-year downward trend that began in
spaceport in French Guiana. LARES was launched along with several cubesats aboard the maiden

a large factor, causing the loss of more than 7,000 jobs in
Florida alone. For those remaining in the space workforce, the news is somewhat better: U.S. space industry salaries
have continued to grow, with the average space salary remaining more than double the average salary for the private
sector as a whole.
On the government side, NASA is facing challenges related to an aging workforce, with only 15% of its civil servants
under 35 years old and more than 26% over 54. NASA employees eligible for retirement constituted 16% of the
agency’s workforce as of the beginning of fiscal year 2013. The agency is taking steps to address this issue by making
a concerted effort to hire recent graduates, but there are still challenges to overcome in ensuring that knowledge and
expertise is documented and passed down before experienced employees retire.
The size of the space workforce is increasing elsewhere in the world, in some cases recovering from previous
downturns. European workforce has grown by 20% since 2006, returning to levels seen at the beginning of the
decade. Japan’s space industry reached its highest level in the past 10 years, growing by more than 7% in 2011 alone.
By contrast, the number of people working at JAXA has declined steadily over the past decade, dropping by more
than 13% from 2003 to 2012.
The global space industry relies on a steady supply of graduates trained in science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM) fields. Governments understand that a quality STEM education is essential for success in a
high-tech economy, and they periodically assess the skill levels of students to determine the efficacy of educational
programs. In the United States, National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) mathematics scores have

Overview
shown improvement over the past several decades in all age groups tested, most significantly at younger ages. At the
university level, the number of STEM bachelor’s and doctoral degrees awarded by U.S. institutions has increased
since 2000, but the rate of growth in several other countries has been significantly higher. China, in particular, has
both the fastest growth rate and the highest absolute number of STEM bachelor’s degrees. As the importance of
STEM becomes ever more significant, it is likely that countries will continue to make major investments in technical
education and training.
5.0 | Perspective
Across the globe, governments continued to publish documents relating
to space policies, strategies, and plans. Policy documents released in 2012
shared a number of common themes, including international cooperation,
coordination between civil and military space activities, and the identification
of a unifying national space strategy. For instance, the 2012 French
Space Strategy emphasizes development of dual-use space programs and
applications to serve both defense and civil users. In Japan, recent legislation
has removed previous limitations on defense-related space efforts, opening
the door to a stronger defense role in JAXA programs.
Avanti’s HYLAS 2 satellite provides data and video services to Northern
and Southern Africa, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East. The
spacecraft is also equipped with a steerable spot beam, operating in the
Ka-band, which can provide coverage anywhere on Earth visible to the
satellite. Credit: Orbital Sciences
Governments are increasingly recognizing the utility of space as a tool for
international trade and development. Advanced spacefaring countries reap
political and economic benefits from their existing space capabilities through
partnerships with emerging nations that are seeking societal and development
benefits. These partnerships can involve any combination of financial
assistance, infrastructure development, and training programs. Much of the
attention is focused on Africa, where demand for fixed satellite services is
forecast to grow at 11% or greater each year from 2013 through 2017.
Economic conditions in some countries with developed space programs
have led to budget restrictions, making it more challenging to develop and
maintain space infrastructure. Space leaders are adopting different methods to overcome this challenge, such
as improving mission cost management, engaging in more international partnerships, examining options for
alternative platforms and flight formations, and making use of commercial markets and practices. Some of these
plans rely on established approaches such as sharing satellite-based meteorological data among weather agencies,
while others are yet to be proven, such as using commercial suborbital spacecraft to carry passengers and cargo into
space for brief test flights.
In several countries, spaceports are being developed to support suborbital flights and new orbital launch vehicles.
Multiple U.S. states have proposed or are building spaceport facilities in anticipation of market growth in the
commercial spaceflight sector. Several states have also passed legislation to address liability concerns that could
potentially affect spacecraft operators and suppliers. These actions are being undertaken with the expectation that
regions with active spaceports will experience on a local level the benefits that society as a whole has received from
investments in space: a high-tech industry that attracts innovators in other fields, new jobs with above-average
salaries, and an inspirational effect that encourages children to pursue careers in STEM so that they are open to a
wide range of future possibilities.
