The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) defines the space economy as the full range of activities and use of resources that create and provide value and benefits to human society in the course of exploring, understanding, managing, and utilizing space. This includes both the upstream activities, such as research, development, and manufacturing of space-related technologies and infrastructure, as well as downstream activities, such as satellite applications, telecommunications, Earth observation, and navigation services.
