This forecast provides a comprehensive analysis of commercial GSO satellite and launch vehicle demand over a 10-year horizon, categorizing satellites by mass. The report, produced annually by COMSTAC, incorporates inputs from industry experts to generate reliable projections. The methodology, consistent since 1993, is continually enhanced and informed by global space transport and satellite industry data. Interested parties can participate in the Technology & Innovation Working Group to contribute to future forecasts.
