“…Especially for such a changing and fast grooving market, standards will be the driving force not only for the developed countries to get harmonized in the market but also for emerging space countries to be able to co-operate for a safer space [10].…”

In general, a standard is described as an established norm or a requirement list. Standards can be developed as formal documents to establish uniform engineering and technical criteria. The standardization process may be achieved through an edict or it may involve the formal consensus of technical experts. Today, in the growing global technical market, standardization is still a developing process, although it has a high and increasing maturity level. The new phase of standardization of today is getting more and more to integration and communization of standards for several diverse areas.In today's emerging space industry, the countries and even organizations within the same country have very different, detailed and well-documented standards. Some of these standards are almost the same or strongly similar. While on the contrary, some of them may propose totally different perspective of solution to a common problem. This quantity and the quality level of the international standards for space market all over the world may be an indicator of the exigency of harmonizing and integrating them.978-1-4244-3628-6/09/$25.00The study presented in this paper aims to mine some of the very well-known and applied standards in space market all over the world, search for the possibility to come up with a common space standards framework, which may constitute a common technical language in this area in order to support international cooperation, performing secure space applications, space policy making and to contribute for the space for a developing world by bridging the developed space nations and emerging space nations.

“…Some form of brain drain will be inevitable, because according to the European Space Policy in 2003 "In Europe it is estimated that nearly 30% of people employed in the space sector are due to retire in the next 10 years. In the United States 26% of persons employed in the aerospace sector will retire in the next 5 years; 54% are over the age of 45" [4,7].…”

Of the three or four major areas of use of satellites, Earth observation is probably the most attractive one for non-space-faring countries, in their aspirations to step into the space age. The expressed purpose to make use of space technologies for the benefit of the country covers both acquiring regional terrain data needed for development, and starting to build the infrastructure for further space efforts.

“…A few studies have focused on technology transfer in space (or satellite) technology, addressing the issue either from a developed-to-developed country perspective (i.e. technology transfer between organisations situated in developed countries) [55,56], or a developed-todeveloping country perspective [4,57,58]. But none of these studies attempted to evaluate (or measure) the flow of transferred knowledge, even those studies grounded in knowledge-based theory [55].…”

Evaluation of Knowledge Flow from Developed to Developing Countries in Small Satellite Collaborative Projects: The Case of Algeria

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Technology transfer involves the flow of knowledge from technology developers or possessors to technology acquirers that benefit from the knowledge. This article proposes a model for the evaluation of knowledge flow in complex technology transfer projects from developed to developing countries. The proposed knowledge flow model is built by combining the concepts of knowledge viscosity and velocity with the concepts of architectural and component knowledge. The model rests on the idea that the transfer of knowledge to resource-limited organisations such as those in developing countries requires a balance between viscosity and velocity on one hand, and between architectural and component knowledge on the other. The knowledge flow model has been tested on data sourced from three Earth-observation small satellite collaborative projects leveraged by Algeria in order to acquire small satellite technology from abroad and build local capability. The implementation of the model revealed that the collaborative projects enabled only the acquisition of a shallow form of architectural knowledge detached from the local environment. The findings are reflective of the limitations of the collaborative projects mechanism and the challenge faced by the technology acquirer to strike the appropriate component/architectural and viscosity/velocity balance.
