The specific character of space travel technology is outlined, in particular the transport high cost and its technical limits, as well as the space medium conditions, i.e., vacuum, radiation, temperature differences which require high material properties for the space vehicle. The complexity of the execution of space travel systems shows clearly that only big companies can carry them out, small and medium size companies being, in general, subcontractors for these companies. They can also be engaged in scientific instrument production. As space travel does not require mass production, the small and middle size companies cooperation in development process requires a high innovation ability and flexibility for required changes.
