“…For example, Barnhard et al [39] developed a sub-kilogram satellite with the techniques called satellite-on-a-chip (spaceChip) and satellite-on-a printed circuit board (PCBSat) to meet the requirements of lowcost and mass manufacturability with a unit cost less than $300. Verspieren et al [40] introduced transparent and balanced research programs by the Philippine national space agency. It is never overemphasized that a space system is multidisciplinary and its development involves in information integration of relevant disciplines including mechanical, electronic, electrical, and computer engineering and controls.…”

This paper aims to present a comprehensive survey on information integration (II) in space informatics. With an ever-increasing scale and dynamics of complex space systems, II has become essential in dealing with the complexity, changes, dynamics, and uncertainties of space systems. The applications of space II (SII) require addressing some distinctive functional requirements (FRs) of heterogeneity, networking, communication, security, latency, and resilience; while limited works are available to examine recent advances of SII thoroughly. This survey helps to gain the understanding of the state of the art of SII in sense that (1) technical drivers for SII are discussed and classified; (2) existing works in space system development are analyzed in terms of their contributions to space economy, divisions, activities, and missions; (3) enabling space information technologies are explored at aspects of sensing, communication, networking, data analysis, and system integration; (4) the importance of first-time right (FTR) for implementation of a space system is emphasized, the limitations of digital twin (DT-I) as technological enablers are discussed, and a concept digital-triad (DT-II) is introduced as an information platform to overcome these limitations with a list of fundamental design principles; (5) the research challenges and opportunities are discussed to promote SII and advance space informatics in future.INDEX TERMS Information integration (II), space informatics, digital triad (DT-II), internet of digital-triad things (IoDTT), first-time right (FTR), space information integration (SII).

“…The Philippines, while already having-limited-satellite remote sensing capabilities, do not have any comprehensive space policy or space development organisation. The country is, however, in the process of establishing a Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA), as well as a Philippine Space Development and Utilization Policy, expected for late 2018, including a Satellite Data Sharing Policy [14,15].…”

Satellite Remote Sensing in ASEAN: A Critical Review of National Data Policies

Satellite remote sensing is critical for the socioeconomic development of the ASEAN region. In 2018, more than half of ASEAN countries had domestic Earth observation satellites, allowing them to enhance their capabilities in disaster risk reduction, land use management or agriculture monitoring. Most nations face similar challenges, in particular hydro-meteorological hazards, and it is legitimate to promote the establishment of regional frameworks for satellite data sharing. However, before even thinking of such mechanisms, it is important for each ASEAN nation involved in Earth observation to develop clear and comprehensive national data policy, providing rules for data utilisation and sharing, domestically and internationally. This paper focuses on the latter, national regulations for satellite remote sensing data sharing with foreign countries and aims to answer the following two interrogations: (1) what is the current state of data policies in ASEAN, and (2) what are the characteristics of a good data policy? The main finding of this paper is that data policies in ASEAN are mostly based on accepted practices rather than on official national policies, but that most countries are currently in the process of drafting a national policy. After providing a brief overview of national satellite capabilities in ASEAN, this paper proposes a comprehensive review of national data policies based on available official documents as well as on extensive interviews with key stakeholders in ASEAN governments and institutions. It then adopts a critical perspective by investigating what should be the components of an efficient data policy based on the needs of various actors as well as on the analysis of an example of simple, transparent and practical data policy: the German Satellitendatensicherheitsgesetz.

“…The reliance on large-scale statefunded programs, which has been the choice of early space powers such as the US, Russia and France, cannot be replicated for most developing countries willing to initiate a domestic space program, simply because of limited government resources. Developing countries have therefore been embracing the privatisation of the space sector, as illustrated by one of the most recent comprehensive space programs established by a developing nation: the Filipino space program.While establishing a reasonably funded space agency, mostly to play the role of national coordinator, the Philippines National Space Policy of 2019 recognises the importance to foster a vibrant domestic ecosystem for the development of satellite technologies as well as downstream solutions for the analysis and utilisation of space data(Verspieren, Coral, Pyne, & Roy, 2018). MDBs can play the role of catalyst for the emergence of this enabling ecosystem either through state or direct private support.The first approach is applicable to countries for which someMDBs have strategies including the development of a space-related private sector or at least focusing on the advancement of information and communication technologies (ICT).…”

The role of multilateral development banks in mainstreaming the use of space and geospatial technologies for sustainable development

The potential of space and geospatial technologies (SGTs) for sustainable development is enormous. In particular, all Sustainable Development Goals can be approached though SGTs utilisation, making it a key area of interest for multilateral development banks (MDBs). This article argues that development banks have the influence and responsibility to mainstream the use of SGTs for sustainable development. It first presents the current utilisation of such technologies before introducing two specific directions MDBs should follow, namely the development of a space infrastructure and the support to the emerging private space sector. The recommendations made in this article are based on a pragmatic analysis of the potential of SGTs and on the actual scope of MDBs' activities. They can be easily implemented, without requiring significant structural or strategic change for any of the major existing MDBs.
