This market insight covers the small-satellite market from an Earth-imaging standpoint. It touches on the research and commercial versions of small-satellite technology. Other domains such as in-orbit debris mitigation and satellite-based internet services have also been covered. The study attempts to identify the differentiating factors and succes...

This research covers a brief analysis of key space technology trends and their implications on the future. Space-based technologies have become the backbone of our daily lives, many times without our realising it. Stakeholders across industries are exploring opportunities in and with space-based technologies, from providing broadband to the other 3...

Global space spending will be relatively flat through 2025, but at the same time, both the number of launches and number of satellites placed in orbit will increase. This is due to the fact that increased competition and innovations will drive overall costs down. These innovations include tools such as 3-Dimensional (3-D) printing, all-electric sat...

This study analyzes the global military satcom applications market, on the downstream hardware segments. The focus area of this study is high throughput satellites and their impact on military satcom (MilSatCom) spend, owing to the migration to high throughput satellites and high frequency bandwidths for enhanced connectivity across strategic and t...
