The Yearbook on Space Policy, edited by the European Space Policy
Institute (ESPI), is the reference publication analysing space policy
developments. Each year it presents issues and trends in space policy
and the space sector as a whole.
Its scope is global and its perspective is European. The Yearbook also
links space policy with other policy areas. It highlights specific
events and issues, and provides useful insights, data and information on
space activities. The first part of the Yearbook
sets out a comprehensive overview of the economic, political,
technological and institutional trends that have affected space
activities. The second part of the Yearbook offers a more analytical
perspective on the yearly ESPI theme and consists of external
contributions written by professionals with diverse backgrounds and
areas of expertise. The third part of the Yearbook carries forward the
character of the Yearbook as an archive of space activities. The
Yearbook is designed for government decision-makers
and agencies, industry professionals, as well as the service sectors,
researchers and scientists and the interested public.
