The global space economy grew to US$289.77 billion in 2011, reflecting a surprisingly robust single-year expansion of 12.2% and five-year growth of 41% in a global economy that has been suppressed in many other sectors. The new global space economic numbers come from the Space Foundation's publication, "The Space Report 2012: The Authoritative Guide to Global Space Activity."
