Table 1: Space contribution to SDGs [15]. Space technology has quickly followed and performed a significant part in economic development initiatives (coping with the majority of SDGs content) [16]. This is true in both emerging and industrialized countries. In emerging nations, where terrestrial infrastructure is often inadequate or missing, space-based applications give excellent benefits as they mainly eliminate the need for such infrastructure [17]. EO satellites are among the most relevant source of data even in industrialized countries, and they are often essential to guide policy governance providing information that is fundamental to watershed and fisheries management and to tracking pollution areas [18]. Through its SDG7 (affordable and clean energy) initiatives, the European Space Agency (ESA) promotes initiatives to guarantee inexpensive, safe, viable and contemporary energy for all. ESA is using its satellite technologies to create safe power alternatives that can substitute natural emissions producing greenhouse gasses that account for at least 70% of worldwide warming caused by human activity. Through the agency and its utility suppliers' extensive cloud booking operations conducted by ESA, consumers can build networks to support sustainable development in multiple industries, including energy, and assist in making the 17 SDGs a fact by 2030 [19]. Outside the European area, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has made a significant contribution to our awareness of Earth and the need for modern, greener technology in many ways. NASA's commitment to Earth, the atmosphere and green technologies continues today through solar arrays and fuel cells projects, EO satellite applications, more powerful spaceships, more efficient climate models and air, water and waste recycling processes. This is giving a strong enhancement for our planet's clean energy programs while advancing in highly technological research for science, aeronautics and space exploration tasks [20].
