THE IMPACT OF SATELLITE INFRASTRUCTURE MARKETS ON NATIONAL SECURITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF UKRAINE

Abstract

This article examines the impact of satellite infrastructure markets on the national security and economic development of Ukraine. The study systematizes the essence and classification of satellite technologies, distinguishing six key segments: satellite communications, telemetry, geospatial services, Earth remote sensing, satellite navigation, and meteorological observation. Such classification provides a structured basis for analyzing technological capabilities, identifying market segments, and determining commercialization opportunities. The paper substantiates a comprehensive methodological approach to analyzing the satellite infrastructure market, combining PEST, SWOT, Porter’s Five Forces, market sizing, segmentation, and statistical forecasting methods. Special attention is paid to the role of satellite technologies in public administration, national security, and social welfare. It is demonstrated that satellite-based solutions enhance decision-making transparency, improve environmental monitoring, strengthen emergency response systems, and ensure reliable communications under crisis conditions. The study concludes that satellite infrastructure should be considered not only as a high-tech market but also as a strategic asset for state resilience and sustainable development.
