The impact of space upon society

The impact of space activities opon society and human mankind in general will only increase. In a 34 year span (1957-1991) we have engaged in global communication, we have witnessed the first voyages on other planets and have seen the first steps on the moon. In the last 10 years a new era of space exploration has emerged, with images of stars and galaxies, but also with a strong and necessary international cooperation and a new perspective on our own planet. Space technologies have become such an important part of our daily lives that modern society can not do without anymore. Space may serve many objectives and policies that have a direct impact on our lives: transport and mobility, communication, environment, industrial competitiveness, agriculture, education, civil protection, defence and security
As a matter of fact, the International Academy of Astronautics and the European Space Agency have worked together on a large-scale project published in 2005 that explains the positive and beneficial impact of space activities on societies and communities across the world, form the point of view of their leaders in all fields.
