Space transportation has garnered significant interest from several space industry players in the past few years. In the past, most space transportation has been focused on cargo supply missions to the International Space Station (ISS) and launch services, but currently, this focus has shifted to in-space transportation, planetary explorations, crewed missions, sub-orbital transportation, and space tourism. Several companies, including SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic, have been focusing on developing platforms such as rocket-powered sub-orbital vehicles that will enable the industry to carry out sub-orbital transportation and space tourism.
The global sub-orbital transportation and space tourism market is witnessing numerous emerging players such as PD AeroSpace, LTD, Equatorial Space Systems, i-Space, OneSpace, Space Perspective, and Suborbitality s.r.o., which are all highly focused on developing sub-orbital transportation and space tourism platforms. These companies’ offerings include high-altitude balloons and reusable sub-orbital spacecraft. Along with these commercial companies, national space agencies such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and European Space Agency (ESA) are also working along with these emerging commercial space entities.
There are several factors that are contributing to the significant growth of the global sub-orbital transportation and space tourism market. Some of these factors include focused efforts to enable space transportation, emerging start-ups in sub-orbital transportation, and rise in development of low-cost launching sites. The global sub-orbital transportation and space tourism market has the potential to become a disruptive industry trend in the upcoming decades.
