The article advocates for the Global South to establish a sovereign public space network for geospatial data and communications. It argues that reliance on Western commercial satellites leaves developing nations vulnerable during crises, as these providers prioritize their home countries. A dedicated Global South space architecture would enhance economic development, environmental sustainability, and disaster resilience. Such a network would boost climate-smart agriculture, improve crop yields, reduce water/fertilizer use, and combat illicit activities. This essential infrastructure would ensure digital sovereignty, moving away from costly and unreliable dependence on the Global North, fostering cooperative development and long-term security.
