A recent report highlights bureaucratic inefficiency as a significant hurdle for the US in the space race with China. According to the report, this inefficiency is stifling space innovation and competitiveness. It's not just about "US companies" anymore; they can work in other countries and be more successful if the bureaucracy in the US proves to be too much for their business. The US needs to keep up with the competition. Read more about the latest developments in the space race with China in the article below. #newspacerace #spaceinnovation

The global space industry is growing at an unprecedented pace, with diverse actors, funding sources, and innovative technologies driving the sector's expansion. Gone are the days of a handful of prime players working with national space agencies. Instead, we're seeing a plethora of new ventures and national space ambitions taking center stage. In this article, we explore the various "Pathways to Space" that are shaping this emerging economy. #PathwaystoSpace #OXSI #SpaceIndustry #Innovation #NewVentures #NationalSpaceAmbitions Marc J Ventresca Saïd Business School, University of Oxford Edoardo Mancini Arnab Dutt OBE Dimiana F.

Some thoughts as we wrap up a busy week in Tokyo… First I was impressed withe the energy of the Japanese New Space at SpaceTide! Great boost for the Summit for Space Sustainability that followed! I was honoured to participate in a panel with Hiroaki Nagai, Josef Koller, Ph.D. , H. Ludwig Moeller and Yasuhito Fukushima moderated by Peter Martinez. We stressed the need to act towards safe and sustainable space, noting that this should not be a show stopper for new actors! The narrative for a sustainable space needs to be more positive, it comes with great opportunities, and young talents are keen to be part of the solution! Amongst other takeaways: - The need for coordination between regional SSA systems, and the role commercial SSA systems can play. - Several upcoming ADR missions that will be both technology demonstrations but will also set the grounds for upcoming policies. Some final words to thank Secure World Foundation and National Space Policy Secretariat of Japan for the great organisation, and Astroscale for the nice reception in the new offices! And wishes of speedy recovery to Krystal Azelton!! #SWFSummit24

🌐🌑 As the Biden-Xi era unfolds, parallels are drawn to the 1973 Cold War era, highlighting the enduring significance of space in geopolitics. Recently, Belarus joined the China/Russia-led International #Lunar Research Station (#ILRS) programme, expanding the group to seven countries. Meanwhile, Bulgaria signed onto the U.S.-led #Artemis Accords, joining 32 countries including Japan, India, and Germany. This mirrors the historical space race, underscoring space's geopolitical importance. Space exploration has evolved significantly since the 1970s. Today, it's not just for a select few but has become democratised and internationally diverse, involving numerous government agencies, businesses, and non-profits. The space sector, once driven by geopolitical motives, now also thrives on commercial and scientific endeavours. Significant milestones like the 1972 Apollo-Soyuz agreement, despite Cold War tensions, showed that space cooperation between rival countries is possible. Today's space science cooperation, though complex, offers a non-political, visible, and straightforward platform for countries to collaborate, transcending geopolitical confrontations. As we navigate the U.S.-China dynamic, the lessons from 1972 suggest that strategic space collaboration could be a pathway to mitigating global tensions, much like the historic Apollo-Soyuz venture. 🌌🛰️🌍🇺🇸🇨🇳 See Roger Cochetti, "Another Cold War, another space race — and another chance for cooperation," in The Hill #Lunapolitics #China #USA https://lnkd.in/dVH37auP

Beijing willing to boost partnership with Latin America and Caribbean, he says China is willing to work with Latin American and Caribbean countries to deepen cooperation in space programs for the interests of their peoples, President Xi Jinping said. He made the remark in a congratulatory letter sent on Wednesday to the first China-Latin American and Caribbean States Space Cooperation Forum. Xi wrote that the event could provide a starting point for China to join hands with nations in Latin America and the Caribbean to form a high-level space cooperation partnership, promote the use of space technology to bring more benefits to the peoples, and continue to advance the building of a shared future. Noting that this year marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the China-CELAC (Community of Latin American and Caribbean States) Forum jointly initiated by leaders of both sides, Xi said that China and Latin American and Caribbean countries have seen prosperous development over the past decade in their cooperation in various fields. Their relations have entered a new era that features equality, mutual benefit, innovation, openness and prosperity for the people, the president added. https://lnkd.in/d-r_YyCg
