Abstract
This study is a survey of the world launch services markets. The study
segments launch demand for communications satellites, earth observation
satellites, navigation satellites, science and development payloads, and human
exploration.
The study discusses the market drivers and restraints and compares the current
launch demand with historic launches and future manifests. Launch forecasts
are provided by region and by vehicle mass class for the various regions
analyzed. Each active vehicle is profiled and a comment is made on the
vehicles currently under development. In addition, the current state of launch
insurance is also discussed.
