This list was put together as a first draft to organize research on different ways that space activities are integral to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by all UN members in 2015.
They fall under three main categories:
Satellites (Earth observation, Internet, GPS)
System Design (closed-loop systems, life support, sensoirzation and biometrics)
Philosophy and Geopolitics (partnership, treaties, open-source)
The next version of this diagram will outline more explicitly which goals are tied to which category and provide examples. Please leave in the comments any other thoughts that come to mind.
