Abstract

In recent years, technology improvement has enabled small satellite commercial demand surge. Many emerging enterprises are developing commercial small launch vehicles. It is necessary to pay attention to this industry that is likely to have disruptive innovations in the next decade. In the commercial satellite launching service’s demand side, remote sensing and communication uses an innovative business model, which will be the main growth part. BlackSky is a perfect example of new business model stimulated by small satellites. Its goal is to provide a real time image information of earth, which is considered too expensive without small satellites. From the supply side, a large number of small launch vehicle providers are developing their launch vehicles with a much lower cost per launch, but few of them succeed. They also have to transform to solve the future demand of greater payload. In general, smaller satellite demand stimulated the development of small launch vehicles, and small launch vehicles will stimulate space economy with lower cost
