Abstract
This report is focussed on the most critical element of the space industry,
the launch Segment. Without the launch capability, there would be no access to
space, and hence the space industry. This research presents the market trends
shaping the launch industry moving forward into the future. An important part
of this research is in defining the critical success factors in reference to
end-user expectations (for suppliers and manufacturers). Challenged from the
current economic downturn, the launch market is progressively working towards
creating innovating solutions and packages for providing reliable and
relatively affordable access to space.
