Space data comes back to earth

In our 30 Voices on 2030 report, we asked space experts about the data collected from space coming back to earth and how it might be regulated.

Space experts examine opportunities and regulations around data collected from space.

Data collected in space will continue to increase in value over the next decade as volume, variety, velocity and veracity increase.

What are the opportunities for organisations on Earth to enhance their operations and become more predictive rather than reactive?
And with the quantity, quality and use of space data growing exponentially, how might this be regulated?

In 2030, we expect to see the rapid uptake and use of space data by everyday people. Our hope is it will become a regular commodity.
