Abstract
Nowadays, the space budget are getting more and more tight for the developed Space faring nations and at the same time new emerging nations plan space activities and related budgets. For this purpose, the justification of public expenditures for space activities is becoming relevant for assuring continuity, maintenance and improvement of space capacity and capability. In this context the socio-economic multiplier of the investments can support the choice of policy makers, thus the expenditure for space-based technologies shall be exploited for several purpose due to favorable policy for technology transfer, e. g. spin-offs and integrated applications, combined with international relations’ actions. The development of space-based technology, encompassing even the technology transfers’ requirements for potential global customers, promises more successful outcomes and most likely contribute to the scientific, technological and industrial leadership and competitiveness of the nation. The paper aims to describe a systems engineering matrix with the requirements to an international space technology transfer and it concludes with a set of policy recommendations.
