Space launch – is there room for everyone?
As the demand for satellite-based services continues to grow, so does the need for more frequent and affordable launches. This has prompted a surge in investments and developments in reusable rocket technology, which has the potential to drive down launch costs further and increase accessibility to space. Moreover, the growing interest in space tourism and the increasing number of countries and companies exploring space for commercial purposes have added to the demand for space launch services. Overall, the sector is experiencing a dynamic shift, with increased competition, technological advancements, and a widening customer base. This session brings the discussion around the supply and demand landscape of the space launch sector and how the industry can drive the growth of the launch market. This debate will focus on both short-term and long-term opportunities within the launch market and what are the potential growth scenarios in the coming years.
