NSR’s Space Traffic Study, 2nd Edition is THE industry resource for assessment of the data traffic levels being generated across the sector through the decade. NSR’s STS forecast examines current trends, developments, drivers, and challenges, identifying essential insights on the total volume of data transmitted to/from space.
NSR’s Space Traffic Study is the next in a series of studies that leverages NSR’s upper-level taxonomy and market mapping, segmenting the space and satellite industry into 3 main groups (Infrastructure, Applications, and Connectivity). For traffic purposes, this report also includes a segment for ”Tourism and Other” use-cases to highlight human-driven data requirements in LEO/beyond. Space Traffic Study further divides each segment into subsegments, along lines of NSR’s Global Space Economy study. Together, these two reports provide commentary on the revenue and data volume aspects of the industry.
