SUMMARY i why new space matters
SHORTCOMING
Current government space programmes, especially in developing
countries, have non-reliable sources of funding. This results in the
non-consistent stimulation of the industry and leads to:
1. The regression of the nascent capabilities and
infrastructure
2. A reduction in long-term benefits to wider society & the
use of space technology to address pervasive social
issues
