UK National space strategy (2021), the ROSCOMOS Corporation report for 2020, qualitative and quantitative indicators of the development of the space industry. An essay.
" September 29, 2021 / IA Krasnaya Vesna. The strategy for the development of the UK space industry, in which the country should become a major global space power, has been published by the British government. (...)
It is noted that the strategy does not specify a way to assess progress towards the goals set, one of the indicators of this growth, which was previously widely discussed as a key indicator, was not included in the national space strategy. Previously, it was proposed to set as a goal the capture of 10% of the global space economy by 2030. (...)
Recall that the UK space sector in 2019 earned 16.4 billion pounds ($21 billion) with a global space economy of 270 billion pounds ($345 billion), which gives the UK a market share of 6%." [unofficial translation] (https://rossaprimavera.ru/news/ff6f4fbd ?utm_source=yxnews&utm_medium=desktop)
So, the UK has adopted a Strategy for the development of the space industry ["National space strategy"], and its share in the global space economy is 6 percent.
Of course, the value (volume) of Russia's share in the global space economy is of interest. Moreover, in its 2020 report, Roscosmos calls "a worthy place in the global space market" one of the "main tasks of its activities":
"One of the main tasks of the ROSCOSMOS State Corporation is the formation of an economically stable, innovative, competitive, diversified rocket and space industry ..., capable of solving strategic tasks for the improvement and development of domestic rocket and space technology ... and occupying a worthy place in the global space market." [unofficial translation](https://www.roscosmos.ru/media/files/2021/SEP/roskosmos_go-2020.pdf )
Unfortunately, we did not find in this report any obvious estimates of Russia's share in the global space economy. What is Russia's share in the global space market?
However, the report has a diagram "Revenue structure by customers, %. 2020, fact" (page 101). According to this chart, off-budget revenue in the foreign market is 11.9%.
"In 2020, sales revenue amounted to 337.1 billion rubles." (page 101). [unofficial translation]
We divide 337.1 by 72.67 (the dollar exchange rate against the ruble of the Russian Federation on 02.10.2021), we get 4.6 billion dollars.
11.9% of 4.6 billion - 0.55 billion dollars.
The UK space sector earned 16.4 billion pounds ($21 billion) in 2019, which is not comparable to either 4.6 billion dollars, or, moreover, 0.55 billion dollars.
However, in addition to quantitative indicators, there are also qualitative ones.
For example, qualitative indicators include the development and commissioning of a spaceship for manned flights to low Earth orbit (CrewDragon).
Or, another example of a qualitative indicator is the creation of a space station in lunar orbit (with a permanent crew presence) or a habitable base on the Moon.
The development of key quantitative and qualitative indicators characterizing the development of the space industry continue. It remains to be hoped that Russia will take its rightful place in the global space market.
Note - as an achievement - the very practice of publishing annual reports.
The annual reports of the Russial Ministry of Foreign Affairs would be very informative. Many foreign policy events would have taken their proper place in this report.
Being assembled and put in one row, these achievements would make a powerful impression.
Numerous doctoral dissertations could be written on the theme of the list of unfriendly countries...
