This paper examines the funding sources of space industry. First, an overview of the space economy and investment flows in the industry is presented. Long-run trends indicate an increase in public and private investment in the space industry. Government funding is the most important source of funding for space programs. Also, the international cooperations in this industry has played a significant role in the development path of space activities. On the other hand, more applications in the services and other economic sectors has increased the entry incentives for private investors. Therefore, financing space projects through private funds is also one of the growing trends in the space industry. The findings show that the shift of governments from construction investments to commercialization investments. In contrast, the increasing application of space activities and the digitalization pattern of the industry have paved the way for micro-actors to enter with less financial resources.

The need to stay in space and use its advantage in different perspectives, has led our country to take steps to use satellite technology. In this regard, constructing an advanced satellite launch site with all the modern facilities is one of the key issues. Imam Khomeini Space Center is the first permanent launch platform of the Islamic Republic of Iran. In 1389, it was announced that due to existing geographic constraints, research was conducted to build the second space center in Chabahar. In this paper, using several performed studies on the infrastructure of the advanced space centers around the world as well as various simulation methods, a conceptual design for the Chabahar launch site is presented. Full descriptions of the launch platforms, processing complex, assembling of satellites, etc. are illustrated. The design and construction of the Chabahar launch site will be a major step forward in the development of the space industry of Islamic Republic of Iran.
