But space is also crowded with satellites, spacecrafts and astronauts, whose missions can last anywhere from several days to months. Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geospatialworld.net\/prime\/how-many-satellites-orbiting-earth\/\">8,216 unmanned satellites<\/a> revolve around Earth\u2019s orbits to improve our daily lives. Communication satellites contribute to enhancing Internet access in regions deprived of infrastructure (so-called \u201cwhite areas\u201d); meteorology satellites have become essential for weather forecasts, while navigation satellites (including GPS) are crucial for current and future transportation needs such as automatic driving vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technological advances in the sector have unlocked many new business opportunities. The industry can now launch constellations of thousand satellites to reach corners of the earth as it had never before (e.g., <a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/space-junk-astronomers-worry-as-private-companies-push-ahead-with-satellite-launches-137572\">Starlink<\/a>), while new markets such as space mining and space tourism are steadily growing. National champions (including the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2022\/09\/09\">United States<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elysee.fr\/elysee\/module\/19326\/fr\">France<\/a>) have also framed the space sector as a top economic priority. It is thought the technological benefits accrued by companies such as SpaceX, Blue Origin or OneWeb, launched by billionaires such as Elon Musk, will also be able to trickle down to non-space sectors such as the energy or freight industries.<\/p><div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeboat.com\/blog\/2023\/04\/how-can-we-make-the-space-sector-more-sustainable\">Continue reading \u201cHow can we make the space sector more sustainable?\u201d | &gt;<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remark: This article is from The Conversation \u201cEn Anglais\u201d written by Victor DOS SANTOS PAULINO &amp; Nonthapat PULSIRI (V&amp;N) \u2014 Experts from Toulouse Business School and The SIRIUS Chair (France) When talking about space, one might think about the stars one sees at night or a good sci-fi film.
