Reihe: Management for Professionals

This book offers a guide to how modern space programs are conceived, structured, and steered at the highest levels of decision-making. Moving beyond mission execution, this book focuses on the strategic foundations of space activities—policy design, institutional governance, long-term strategy, and portfolio selection. Anchored in a systems-engineering perspective and informed by six decades of global space experience, it introduces the PISP framework to show how national interests and political priorities can be translated into coherent, fundable space missions. Bridging space policy, public administration, and strategic management, this book is an essential resource for policymakers, space agency leaders, industry executives, and advanced students navigating an increasingly complex and competitive space sector.
