Feel free to suggest a Market Snapshot topic, or request Phillips' Custom Research services. July 19, 1999 In a recent report released by The Federal Aviation Administration's Associate Administrator for Commercial Space Transportation (FAA/AST) and the Commercial Space Transportation Advisory Committee (COMSTAC) titled "1999 Commercial Space Transportation Forecasts," projections of global demand for commercial space launch services for the period 1999 to 2010 look to be favorable. Together, COMSTAC and the FAA predict an average of 51 commercial space launch worldwide per year through 2010, a 40 percent increase from 1998. Of the 51 launches, medium-to-heavy launch vehicles placing satellites in geosynchronous orbit (GSO) will comprise the bulk of launches averaging 25 per year worldwide. Medium-to-heavy launch vehicles to low earth orbit (LEO) and non-geosynchronous orbits (NGSO) and small launch vehicles to LEO will account for an average of 15 and 11 launcher per year worldwide. On the payload side, it is forecasted that 1,369 GSO and LEO payloads will be deployed between 1999 and 2010. The bulk of the forecasted payload figure is dominated by the large number of LEO payloads expected to be launched to build out several LEO communications constellations. GSO spacecraft payload numbers are predicted to peak at 39 in 2001 and decline to 29 in 2003 and 2004.
