The space traffic management can be identified as methodologies, systems, and rules to perform operations in outer space with utmost safety, security, and sustainability. Since the inception of the space era in 1958, approximately 6,000 launched are made placing nearly 12,000 satellites in orbit. Among those 12,000 satellites, 4852 satellites are active as of 2022. The rest serve as space debris and continue to serve in orbit around earth. More than 20,000 satellites are accounted to be launched during the forecast period, making space a highly congested area. Apart from the dead satellites, the rise in several small and micro-level particles serving as space debris is also threatening space operations. More than 1 million pieces of space debris between 1cm and 10cm are identified orbiting around Earth, and the count is constantly increasing. Increasing congestion in space due to the rising number of operational satellites and launch forecast, the threat of collision course, overlapping orbits, and debris collision has generated demand for an effective space traffic management system.
The growth of the space traffic management market is driven by factors such as space-based connectivity, satellite life vehicle extension programs, and internal cooperation between nations to agree on data sharing policies are some of the primary drivers supporting the business opportunities over the coming years. Initiatives are taken by several regulatory bodies such as European Commission, United Nations Office For Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA), and other U.S. federal departments to increase transparency about space operations across nations considering outer space a limited resource will promote the orientation of space traffic management system. Companies such as Lockheed Martin, L3Harris, and Airbus among others have started offering innovative solutions to address the rising threat of space debris and cater to the consumer demand for effective space operations. Reduced launch cost due to the introduction of re-usable rockets, adoption of smallsats and CubeSats, and rise in use of satellites for establishing communication constellations, and research and development on a personal level has generated the demand of end to end space operations service providers, supporting business augmentation.
