Space Launch Services Market Scope
Space launch refers to the primary part of a flight that reaches space. Space launch service providers are responsible for the construction of the carrier missile, ordering, assembly and stacking, conversion, payload integration eventually conducting space launch itself. It includes liftoff when a space launch vehicle or rocket leaves the earth surface at the start of the flight. Space launch services market has high growth prospects owing to increase government investment in space exploration activities. For instance, the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C42) of Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) launched two satellites S1-4 and NovaSAR into the Sun Synchronous Orbit at an altitude of 583 km. And, SpaceX a private American space transportation service provider launched Falcon 9 rocket built by Lockheed Martin for the United States Air Force.
According to AMA, the Global Space Launch Services market is expected to see growth rate of 15.45%Fragmented nature of the market owing to numerous players present in the market. More players rising in space launch vehicle market. For instance, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is planning to include the private players in developing and launching the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) supplementing the growth of space launch services market. Further, technological developments in planetary and interplanetary satellite carrier supporting the industry growth.
