SpaceX believes it can support moving vehicles without a huge overhaul of its technologies and platform, noting that each ESIM is “electrically.
Space & Satellite Infrastructure, Applications, and Satellite Connectivity to exceed $1 Trillion, growing at 4.5% CAGR until 2029 Cambridge, MA – The new NSR Global Space Economy report, launched today, finds a cumulative space and satellite market revenue opportunity of more than $1 Trillion between 2019 and 2029.
