a steady amount of commercial satellite orders.a growing demand for Fixed Service Satellites and developing market for Mobile Satellite Services.the appearance of new satellite operators.Relevant trends in the 2008–2009 for the space industry have been described as: įrom 2004–2013, total orbital launches by country/region were: Russia: 270, US: 181, China: 108, Europe: 59, Japan: 24, India: 19 and Brazil: 1. Some future developments of the space industry that are increasingly being considered include new services such as space tourism. In recent years, however, private spaceflight is becoming realistic, and even major government agencies, such as NASA, have begun relying on privately operated launch services. In particular, the launch industry features a significant government involvement, with some launch platforms (like the Space Shuttle) being operated by governments. It retains significant ties to the government. The space industry began to develop after World War II, as rockets and then satellites entered into military arsenals, and later found civilian applications. In 2005, OECD countries budgeted around US$45 billion for space-related activities income from space-derived products and services has been estimated at US$110–120 billion in 2006 (worldwide). Capital stocks estimated the worth of 937 satellites in Earth's orbit in 2005 at around 170 to US$230 billion. The industry and related sectors employ about 120,000 people in the OECD countries, while the space industry of Russia employs around 250,000 people. Space-related services are estimated at about US$100 billion. In that, majority of revenue was generated by the ground equipment sector, with the least amount by the launch sector. With regards to the worldwide satellite industry revenues, in the period 2002 to 2005 those remained at the 35–36 billion USD level. This makes it a critical sector for economic development, competitiveness, and high-tech jobs. Every euro spent in the space industry returns around six euros to the economy, according to the European Space Agency. The launch sector is composed of launch services, vehicle manufacturing and subsystem manufacturing. The ground equipment sector is composed of manufacturing items like mobile terminals, gateways, control stations, VSATs, direct broadcast satellite dishes, and other specialized equipment. The satellite manufacturing sector is composed of satellite and their subsystems manufacturers. The three major sectors of the space industry are: satellite manufacturing, support ground equipment manufacturing, and the launch industry. It comprises a long value-added chaining, starting with research and development actors and manufacturers of space hardware and ending with the providers of space-enabled products and services to final users." Space economy has been defined as "all public and private actors involved in developing and providing space-enabled products and services. Thus more broadly, space industry can be described as the companies involved in the space economy, and providing goods and services related to space. This definition does not exclude certain activities, such as space tourism. A narrow definition encompasses only hardware providers (primarily related to launch vehicles and satellites). The term space business has also been used. Owing to the prominence of the satellite-related activities, some sources use the term satellite industry interchangeably with the term space industry. Space industry refers to economic activities related to manufacturing components that go into Earth's orbit or beyond, delivering them to those regions, and related services.
Not to be confused with Space-based economy.
