Abstract: Space is becoming more accessible than ever before. Falling satellite manufacturing and launch costs have opened the door to new players to enter the market, disrupting the status quo. HTS and constellations have entered the market and will lead to a lot more capacity at a lower price. But how this capacity will be optimally distributed remains a significant challenge. Earth Observation (EO) and Big Data are also areas of interest that are gaining grounds thanks to projects of 100s if not 1,000s of satellites that will have a lasting effect on manufacturing and launch markets.
