Space Industry 2030-2050

This whitepaper presents the productive mapping of the global space sector towards 2030-2050, articulates the six emerging economic sectors (asteroid mining, low-orbit manufacturing, space tourism, lunar colonisation, Martian colonisation, interplanetary infrastructure), evaluates the competitive positioning of the main actors (United States, China, Europe, India, and Latin American actors such as CONAE/INVAP in Argentina, AEB in Brazil, AEM in Mexico), and proposes a specific productive insertion strategy for Latin America. The symbolic case of the First Argentine Malbec to Space (2024), an initiative led by Chris Meniw as a demonstration of regional cultural projection, is included.
