Will Super-Heavy Launch Vehicles expand the space economy or concentrate market power?
Starship and New Glenn promise cheaper access to orbit, but the biggest disruption may be the rise of vertically integrated companies controlling launch, infrastructure, and downstream markets.
Global Smallsat Deployment Accelerates, with 16,900 Satellites Projected Through 2035
The 11th edition of Novaspace’s Prospects for the Small Satellite Market report forecasts 16,900 small satellites (under 500 kg) to be launched between 2026 and 2035. This equates to an average of 230 tons per year, or approximately 640 kg launched daily, driven by growing sovereign constellation demand.
Data Boom, Video Decline Reshapes Satellite Revenues by 2034
Novaspace’s 32nd edition of the Satellite Connectivity and Video Market report reveals a seismic shift in satellite service economics. Data applications are set to overtake video services by 2033, with their share of total service revenues rising from 21% in 2024 to 55% by 2034. This transformation marks a fundamental rebalancing of the satellite communications market, driven by NGSO constellations, falling capacity prices, and surging demand across all data segments.

2026 Outlook: What to Expect in the Space Industry
Introduction After a decade of expansion fueled by commercial optimism and technological momentum, the space industry enters 2026 under a different set of rules. The industry is moving from a phase where success was defined by how fast systems could be put in orbit, to one where it is defined by how reliably, sustainably, and strategically those […]
The Missing Link to Space Superiority: In-Orbit Refueling
Space superiority is no longer defined by launch capacity, but by maneuverability and endurance in orbit. In-orbit refueling removes the fuel constraint that limits today’s space systems. Discover why it is becoming critical infrastructure for defense and commercial space.
2025 in Review: A Year of Acceleration and Transformation in the Global Space Economy
2025 marked a decisive shift for the global space sector. As governments strengthened sovereignty and defense postures, and private investment returned with greater discipline, the space economy entered a new phase defined by execution, resilience, and consolidation. Rather than speculative expansion, growth is now driven by operational maturity, integrated capabilities, and long-term value creation across the space value chain.
Data Boom, Video Decline Reshapes Satellite Revenues by 2034
Satellite connectivity is undergoing a major shift as data services surge to dominate revenues, driven by NGSO constellations, falling capacity prices, and growing demand across global markets.
