: Although I agree with Maria Karra that the "Space Race" doesn't have much meaning these days, I don't see how you can use translate this term any other way.

(aero)space industry
aerospace industry, or simply space industry.
Depending on your text, you could even use "space exploration" (if you want to express the notion of "investigación" too).
I would not use "space race" as it denotes the _competition_ between two organizations in this field, or even two countries (such as between the USA and USSR in the past). (See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Race_(disambiguation))

: of course...space race is the Political Thing to Dominate Space; not the industry..so maybe the Poster was not sure fo the meaning!
