17 Mexico´s space vision (2030) Turn Mexico into a significant international space player –Significant space infrastructure built mostly with indigenous capabilities –Space awareness of population –Adequate human capital –Significant space industry, focused on niches –Contribution to space exploration and research

18 Challenges Increase public funding Increase participation of Mexican industry in R&D operations Foster interaction between academic researchers and industry Tackle global challenges (climate, security, connectivity…)

19 Opportunities Growing need for space applications Growing aerospace industry Population bonus Scientific base New federal administration Geopolitical location Free trade agreements Growing interest in space tourism

20 Mexican Space Research ASTRONOMY, ASTROPHYSICS, GEOPHYSICS SPACE COMMUNICATIONS EARTH OBSERVATION OCEAN SCIENCES EARTH SCIENCES ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES NATURAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT REDCyTE

21 21 Linking vision and strategy Goals Strategy Mexico has adequate space infrastructure Develop joint programs between government and industry to generate space infrastructure Mexico has a globally competitive space industry Develop private space science and technology industry sector through PPPs Mexico has a robust space science and technology base Human capital development through alliances with universities, industry, state governments and international partners Mexican people have awareness and appreciation for science Advocate the importance of space science and technology and its benefits among the population Mexico as a space global player which contributes to space exploration and research Establish partnerships with space advanced countries Participation in international projects

22 Mexico´s road map of the space industry World class center for validation and certification for the space industry. Milestone E1: PPP world class company covering a space niche. Milestone E2: LEO multifunctional satellite bus with 50% of Mexican integration Milestone E3: PPP world class institute for research in advanced and composite materials Milestone E4: 1% of participation in the world space industry Milestone E5:

23 Framework a) National Development Plan b) National Infrastructure Plan Nationwide project: A Satellite Early Warning System for natural disaster prevention, mitigation and management. Building capacities for communications satellites and for scientific platforms.
