This chapter introduces the theoretical and empirical framework used to study the innovation trajectories in the space industry. It presents approach to innovation management and typology of innovations, which is based on three dimensions: the type, level of novelty, and cumulative nature of innovation. The chapter details the different “stage‐gate” processes that structure the development of innovations. Innovation plays a central role in the space industry, which can be observed in many dimensions. The chapter describes the structure of the space industry: products, customers, producers, and market rules. The space industry manufactures three main categories of products: launchers, spacecraft, and ground equipment. Export controls apply to arms but also to dual‐use goods, including space industry products. The analytical framework provided by the lifecycle of the industry has difficulties in understanding industrial diversity when used to conduct studies requiring significant empirical validity.
