Description
Our industry has experienced a substantial increase in the development of commercially sponsored space applications ranging from remote sensing to the exponential growth in the telecommunications sector. These commercial applications are central to the evolution taking place within the Space Launch Industry, which has become an extension of our growing global economy. As forecasted, commercial programs now represent a greater percentage of the total launches from our primary ranges, and as early as next year, commercial launch revenues will approach or exceed those produced by government launches.
