Abstract. The growth of space activities has experienced rapid expansion in the last twenty years, largely driven by the transfer of technology. This process has had not only economic and social effects but also important political and military implications.
The primary entities responsible for sharing scientific and technological knowledge have been the prominent space agencies. This article seeks to compare the approaches developed by NASA and ESA throughout the years. The comparison reveals significant differences between the two agencies in terms of their goals and the methods they employ to achieve them. These disparities can even be traced back to the legislation that established each respective agency.

the paper presents a thorough and comprehensive summary of the approaches to technology transfer of the two space agencies ESA and NASA.
Some suggestions:
in the introduction specify what is meant by downstream space activities,
in 2.1 add bibliographic references and better specify the dynamics of technology transfer
in 2.2 define "technology push" and "deman pull" technology transfer.
