Where are we in the Space Market
The Space market focus on the activities that lead to the development and operation of spacecrafts (satellites, launchers, etc.). It is historically divided in two major segments:
Ground Segment:Support to the development and operations (tools and engineering services)
Operational Systems
Spacecraft Simulators
Data processing and distribution
Space SegmentOnboard systems (Onboard software Development and; Validation and Verification)
The Institutional market is the major driver of the research and development of technologies and tools that may be used on both segments – for both Science and Exploration missions. 7

Space market vs other markets
Space applications are critical;
There’s no “2nd try”… most of the times;
What is done has to work the first time;
Assets involved in each mission are very expensive;
17
Commercial non-space applications tend to be less critical;
There can be a “2nd try”… and 3rd or 4th;
What is done can be tested and tested again – it can even be prototyped in real environment;

Some ideas…
Rule number one: there are no rules (there’s no silver bullet for disruption);
Value, value, value: where can space tech add value in each of the different markets?
From a PT institutional perspective, alignment with strategic markets for Portugal is a must!
