Relative Satellite technology is developing at its fastest rate in newcomer, SpaceX, is driving the heavy-lift launcher years driven by innovation and changing needs from market with a combination of low prices and ground satellite operators. In satellite communications, there is a breaking reusable technology… However, SpaceX now battle now on between large increasingly high power, high faces a competitive reaction with new expendable designs throughput satellites (HTS) in Geostationary Earth Orbit being introduced by Arianespace, MHI and Khrunichev/ (GEO), and low cost satellite constellations in low Earth ILS, and new reusable designs by ULA, and by the new orbit (LEO) offering low latency (signal delay) mobile market entrant Blue Origin. broadband services from Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Between synergies and competition the market has not decided yet. Meanwhile, the light and medium lift market is also in flux. Small sat operators are becoming increasingly frustrated A flurry of Earth observation constellations and tracking at the lack of affordable rides. The good news is that applications are also booming in LEO.
