The traditional Geostationary Orbit (GEO) commercial satellite market, which has dominated the communications sector for decades, is now losing commercial value because of competition from new players seeking to provide services from LEO or MEO.1 More recently, in the last decade, the financing of new applications for space-based initiatives has grown fast: businesses, start-ups, and research entities are proliferating, raising money in the billions, and thereby driving down the cost of launch systems, particularly in LEO (see Figure 5.1).2 Lower costs bring more opportunity for a greater diversity of actors to launch constellations of smaller satellites.
