Futron's 2009 Space Competitiveness Index (SCI)
Futron's 2009 Space Competitiveness Index (SCI) expands upon our landmark inaugural 2008 study to examine in greater depth 10 nations currently leading in space and space-related activity: Brazil, Canada, China, Europe (considered as a single entity), India, Israel, Japan, Russia, South Korea, and the United States. Futron's 2009 Space Competitiveness Index evaluates these nations across 50 individual metrics that represent the underlying economic determinants of space competitiveness in three major dimensions: government, human capital, and industry.
What's New in 2009?
In addition to detailed country-by-country analyses, Futron's 2009 Space Competitiveness Index introduces several new elements.
Five New European Mini-Profiles
An overview of the space activities of five leading European countries-France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, and the United Kingdom-to provide a more nuanced view of the complex European dynamic.
Five New Emerging Space Actor Profiles
This enhanced European focus is complemented by an additional new discussion of five emerging space actors: Australia, Singapore, South Africa, plus a timely examination of strategic questions surrounding the space programs of Iran and North Korea.
Two New Focused Segment Analyses
The 2009 Index also adds two new focused segment analyses:
- Space Exploration
- Space Technology Capability Base
The Space Exploration examines civil space exploration, including deep space missions and scientific spacecraft. The Space Technology Capability Base segment offers comparative snapshots of technical clusters considered key, from an engineering perspective, to ensuring space functionality.
In addition, the three segments first assessed in 2008-Military, Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT), and Remote Sensing-are updated and refined.
