Abstract
In this paper, the models of space technology development in regional countries have been studied first, and the main criteria of each of these models have been classified. In this research, by ignoring the leading countries such as USA, Russia, European Union, China, Japan and India, the prominent countries of the region in the field of space technology have been investigated. These countries include the occupying regime of Al-Quds, South Korea and Turkey in the first degree of importance and the United Arab Emirates, North Korea, Kazakhstan and Pakistan in the second degree of importance. Then, SWOT analysis has been done for the space technology trends in the country, and by considering the requirements of the space technology development models, the proper development model has been introduced with the relevant requirements. According to the obtained results, the indigenous development model is the best space technology development model for the country, and one of the most important infrastructures needed in this model is to have a suborbital laboratory and a minimal mass orbital launch service.
