Futron Releases 2012 Space Competitiveness Index, Commercial Space Watch
“Futron has released its 2012 Space Competitiveness Index marking the 5th anniversary of the yearly publication. According to the report, the United States remains the overall leader in space competitiveness but is seeing a decline for the 5th year in a row. The decline is attributed to enhanced capabilities in other countries while the U.S. is undergoing a transition with ‘significant’ uncertainty. New to the index this year are emerging space nations Argentina, Australia, Iran, South Africa and the Ukraine.”
