Smallsat launches to increase but rest of the chain not ready: NSR

7,000 small satellites will be launched by 2027, with constellations expected to dominate the market which, in some cases, are planning to deploy unprecedented numbers at a record pace, according to NSR’s Small Satellite Markets, 5th Edition forecasts. Despite a 30% decline in launch rates in 2018, small satellites are expected to regain growth in the near terms and over the next decade.
