Does the Office publish commercial space market forecasts?
The Office of Space Commercialization occasionally publishes economic analyses and/or forecasts on the commercial space industry. The most recent public study was documented in a article in Inside GNSS magazine quantifying the projected benefits of certain next-generation GPS capabilities (July/August 2006). In June 2001, the Office produced the Trends in Space Commerce report, providing near-term projections for the commercial space industry. The report focused on four key sectors within the industry: space transportation; satellite communications; space-based remote sensing; and satellite navigation.
