| Abstract: | The subject of Space is often perceived as abstract. Yet, our communications infrastructure, navigation on land, sea and air, surveillance, border control and security, agriculture, meteorological observation, monitoring of natural disasters and early warning systems all rely on Space. Furthermore, the understanding of our planet, the solar system and beyond through space science, all rely on investment in the space sector. Space is not a luxury, but it is indeed essential for our daily lives. |
