Space Economy
Commercial space infrastructure and the downstream data, connectivity and services that change terrestrial decisions.
“Durable space businesses connect scarce infrastructure to a repeated customer decision while pricing public dependence and orbital continuity.”
01
Pillar guide
The layered commercial space value chain
The space economy extends from components and launch to satellites, ground systems, data, connectivity, navigation and industry applications. Value often appears downstream, far from the infrastructure that produces it.
Our coverage links technical capability to customer decisions, public programs, regulatory constraints and the resilience needed to keep a service available.
