Global Space Launch Services Market- Description
Growing number of space testing and launches are influencing the market growth. As per the market specialists study, the small vehicle continues to be at the highest earning sector with a growing CAGR of 15.4% under vehicle type section. Various business corporations are entering into collaborations for the research and development of newer technologies with regards to small vehicle services to space. For instance, SpaceX successfully launched an un-crewed Dragon spacecraft for NASA. This is the only spacecraft that was developed privately to carry astronauts to earths orbit.
Progress in of space program technology is considered to be a lucrative factor for the growth of the market. Space exploration program has gained a lot of popularity in major countries and have dominated the launch of reusable vehicle. Furthermore, the expansion in research and development of space vehicle is accelerating the market.
Space launch services are facilities utilized for launching rockets that transport satellites from land to earths orbit to explore the universe. The services consist of series of events such as payload integration, launch infrastructure, launch assembly, ordering, conversion etc. In 2018, the launch services sector was reckoned around USD 5.5 billion out of global space economy. The services account for ordering, conversion, and construction of carrier rocket. In addition to this, the services are also responsible for assembly and stacking, payload integration, and finally directing the launch of the space rocket.
Some of these services can be accomplished by companies or even sometimes outsourced. For instance, United Launch Alliance, has joined hands for the manufacture of GEM solid rocket motors for Delta II and Delta IV a medium version rockets to Alliant Techsystems, where both Delta II and Delta IV vehicles are retired. Space launch services does not necessarily create new rockets every time.Currently, there has been lot of satellite testing and launching noticed around the globe, which is driving the market.
Global Space Launch Services Market: Key Trends
Reduced cost of space missions is boosting the market.
Growing demand for small satellites with reduced costs that indirectly decreased the cost of space operations with lessened time which helps in implementing new projects. Moreover, governments are now investing in research and development of space programs which is one of the factors fueling the market.
Association of various space organization with a focus of developing advanced space technologies is driving the market.
Collaboration of different space agencies with an aim to develop new progressive space vehicles is driving the market. For instance, in February 2021, Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), launched Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) embedded with Brazils earth observation satellite, Amazonia-1, and 18 other satellites that belong to US. Such collaborations are expected to influence the market in the forecasted period.
Covid-19 impact on market
Covid-19 had significantly impacted the global business and space launch services was not good too. The contagion specifically hit satellite launch, manned spacecraft, launch vehicle domain, and post launch services. The decelerate in eminent players contribution in market has drastically altered the market. Due to the global lockdowns, the oxygen shipments were delayed which hampered the planned liftoff of the Landsat 9 satellite. Also, due to delayed shipments that resulted into shortfall of microchips and other electronic components required for Defense Advanced Research Project Blackjack mission, and which was supposed to be launched earlier, was postponed to 2021 post lockdowns.
