Space Economy 2 ed.: L’arena competitiva del futuro. E-book. Formato EPUB Simonetta Di Pippo   -  Egea, 2025  - 

In questa edizione integralmente aggiornata, Simonetta Di Pippo traccia una mappa lucida e visionaria della nuova economia spaziale, individuando traiettorie, attori e prospettive di un settore in piena espansione, destinato a diventare uno dei pilastri dello sviluppo globale. L’autrice esplora le evoluzioni più recenti del comparto, dai progressi tecnologici all’espansione degli investimenti privati, dall’intelligenza artificiale applicata allo spazio al ruolo strategico dell’Europa e dell’Italia, che si ritagliano una posizione sempre più rilevante nel panorama internazionale. Il volume si distingue per la ricchezza dei dati, l’attenzione alla dimensione geopolitica e normativa, la capacità di restituire un’immagine nitida della complessità contemporanea. Particolare rilievo assume la circular space economy, paradigma che estende i principi dell’economia circolare alle attività extra-atmosferiche, delineando un futuro sostenibile, resiliente e competitivo. Grazie a un approccio multidisciplinare, che intreccia economia, tecnologia, di-ritto e politica internazionale, il libro si conferma uno strumento indispensabile per comprendere le dinamiche di un’arena competitiva decisiva per il futuro. Un saggio autorevole, accessibile e attento all’impatto concreto delle scelte spaziali sulla vita nel pianeta Terra.

Space Economy 2nd ed.: The Competitive Arena of the Future. E-book. Formato EPUB Simonetta Di Pippo   -  Egea, 2026  - 

In this thoroughly updated edition, Simonetta Di Pippo provides a clear and visionary overview of the new space economy. She identifies the key players and prospects of this rapidly expanding sector, which is set to become one of the pillars of global development. The author explores the latest developments in the sector, including technological advances, the growth of private investment, the application of artificial intelligence to space, and the strategic role of Europe and Italy, both of which are establishing themselves as increasingly important players on the international stage. This edition stands out for its wealth of data and focus on geopolitical and regulatory issues, providing a clear over-view of contemporary complexity. Particular emphasis is placed on the circular space economy—a paradigm that applies the principles of the circular economy to extra-atmospheric activities—outlining a sustain-able, resilient and competitive future. Thanks to its multidisciplinary approach, intertwining economics, technology, law and international politics, this book is an essential resource for grasping the dynamics of this highly competitive arena, which is crucial for our future.

Space Economy: The New Frontier for Development. E-book. Formato EPUB Simonetta Di Pippo   -  Egea, 2023  - 

According to the OECD definition, the space economy is the full range of activities that create value to human beings through exploring, researching, understanding, managing, and utilizing space. It includes all actors engaged in developing, providing and using space-related products and services: research and development, space infrastructure, space-derived applications, as well as the resulting scientific knowledge. The space economy thus goes far beyond the space sector in the narrow sense to encompass many others: think of agriculture, environmental protection, natural resource management and transportation, to name a few. The space economy is now worth $469 billion globally, with double-digit percentage growth forecast for the coming decades. Most importantly, it will provide opportunities for less developed countries, contributing to the achievement of sustainable development goals. From these considerations begins the fascinating journey that fills the pages of this book: space exploration and tourism, extra-terrestrial communications, asteroid economics, Made in Space products, but also space debris jamming the traffic of increasingly congested orbits. The future is indeed just around the corner; all we have to do is to equip ourselves with all the necessary knowledge to face it.
