Probably one of the most important changes in space is the beginning of
industrial activity in orbit. In the past few years, significant demonstrations have
established the technical viability of manufacturing in orbit. The first for-profit
operations have been completed. This report, updated for 2025 looks at the
underlying technologies, the companies driving innovation, and the potential
markets in the next decade. Contact us for more information
It is well known that launch costs are rapidly falling. Additionally, as the cost of
launch drops, tonnage into orbit is increasing, launch rates are increasing, the number of launch providers is increasing, and more launch ports are coming. This report examines the pace of changes and provides insight into where these
trends are heading in the next 10 years. Since launch costs and rates are the
basis of the next generation of wealth generation in orbit, this report provides the key data that is driving those advances. Contact us for more details
There is broad consensus among the government, commercial, scientific,
engineering and regulatory academic and sectors that orbital debris and poorly
controlled orbital traffic management pose significant threats and vulnerability for all orbital and mission spacecraft.
William Gibson famously quipped that “the future is already here – it’s just not
very evenly distributed.” This applies to the rapid advancements in the space
economy. This report looks at the existing economy in space today and the
technologies that have the potential to grow the space economy over the next ten years. The report looks at technology readiness, scaling rates, and economic
need to provide hard numbers for where things are heading.
