DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/3phn5x/commercial) has announced the addition of the "Commercial Sub-orbital and LEO Spaceflight Services Market Assessment" report to their offering.
This study covers the commercial spaceflight market that provides dedicated small-satellite launch services to small-satellite operators. The forecast data includes small-satellite, low Earth orbit (LEO) payload and revenue forecasts accounting for the price reduction due to growing competition and discussions on the fast-growing earth-observation domain.
Key industry participants involved in developing LEO launch capabilities are profiled for an overview of the existing and emerging competition in this domain. Stakeholders interested in learning about multiple LEO launch capabilities under development and the market sizing for launch services for small satellites will benefit from this market insight.
The sub-orbital launch services segment is yet to gain a comprehensive operational format. The suborbital launch technologies are under development, in the testing and evaluation phase. At least operators are actively pursuing multiple sub-orbital launch capabilities. The focus is largely on air-launched systems as they stand as promising candidates for reduced operational costs by skipping the expensive booster stage.
While sub-orbital launch services are currently focused on supporting microgravity experiments, they are also aimed at potential space tourism services that will take civilians on sub-orbital manned flights. The development is largely focused on the unmanned sub-orbital flight capabilities and reusable launch vehicles.
While some operators are aiming to establish scheduled operation by 2016, the others are aiming at the 2017-2018 timeline.
