Relevance to Costa Rica
According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Space Economy encompasses the set of activities and the use of resources that create value and benefits for human beings in the process of exploring, researching, understanding, managing, and using space. This area ranges from the manufacturing of satellites and launch vehicles to services such as telecommunications, Earth observation, and satellite navigation.
The space industry is booming and is projected to reach US$1.8 trillion by 2035.
How can Costa Rica take advantage of this technological and economic revolution? For Costa Rica, the space economy offers multiple opportunities in the area of technological development, as investment in space technologies can drive innovation and strengthen sectors such as telecommunications, meteorology, and natural resource management.
Additionally, participation in space projects fosters the training of highly qualified professionals in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
Furthermore, space technologies allow for better environmental monitoring, facilitating the sustainable management of natural resources and response to natural disasters.
