Economics of Scarce Resources in Space Activities:
Effects and Problems of Efficiency

Economic resources invested in the space sector are a potential basis for future innova-
tions, and the overall technological and social progress. So far, the criteria or specific
indicators are not enough developed for realistic assessment of the diverse results in this
field and resource costs of its activities. It is well known that the true significance of the
results can appear in a more or less distant future, and the price of resources is known at
every moment of their consumption. Thus, methods of effectiveness evaluation do not
always coincide with the effects of the hit ratio of successful launches of carrier rockets
or manned space flights.
Keywords:
high technology, shortage of economic resources, innovation, space activities,
manufacturing, economic efficiency.
