This document provides an overview of space entrepreneurship and emerging opportunities in the space industry. It discusses new satellite navigation systems being developed by countries like India, Japan, and Pakistan. It also outlines new applications and services enabled by precision satellite positioning, such as autonomous vehicles, precision agriculture, and location-based advertising. The document reviews revenue figures for different sectors of the space industry and challenges such as limited orbital slots and spectrum allocation. It then discusses emerging technologies like free-space optical communication, remote sensing applications, and orbital debris. Finally, it profiles several private space companies and university projects in Australia that are pioneering new approaches to space exploration, satellite technology development, and tracking of space debris.
