Research Scope

Launch wise discussion of all planned/announced launches from March-December, 2018
Stakeholders involved (operator, launch service provider)
Impact of the launches

As a forward-looking study covering scheduled space launches in 2018 (Mar-Dec), this will enable the readers get a pulse of the near future developments in the space industry in terms of new satellites to be launched, their purpose, and the opportunities they will create. With the space industry observing multiple disruptions across the value chain, the launch segment is now gaining prominence as it is looking to accommodate new launch systems across different services for diverse customer groups.

While the new technologies and business models are yet to be realized in the scheduled operational format, there is now a need to understand the current evolution of the launch market in terms of missions, payloads, and downstream objectives so that the future need for newer services can be better estimated. This study aims to enable the reader to get that perspective for the launch market.
