description This study established a model to assess the capability of civil universities to support the development of China’s space industry. Using linear scaling, data from 41 elite universities were assessed for three dimensions: education, research, and culture. Differences among the indicators and their correlations were examined. A k-means algorithm was employed to classify universities into four clusters. According to the results, high support potential for the space industry is concentrated in certain universities. With the outcomes, the study also provides recommendations to guide space industry authorities and university leaders in policymaking. Further, the model can be used as a feasible, simple, and practical tool for similar studies.
