So much space and so little strategy!
Canada losing ground in space, Globe and Mail, March 19, 2008
In this article I came across another interesting Consultancy firm - Athena Global which brings:
space solution to terrestrial problems, the company uses satellite Earth Observation to focus on key areas of interest: environment, sustainable development, security, disasters and oceans.
They are also a think tank
that prepared a strategic report for several Canadian aerospace firms, including MDA, in 2006. The report found that Canada’s space budget was the lowest of all G8 nations, both in absolute terms and relative to its GDP.
They have a list of intersting publications, some for free and others for fee. For intance a Report on Space in the North, Global Report on Space and National Security (Canada): How Civil and Commercial Space Contribute to Canadian Security, and a number of orientation pieces.
