Everyone loves a good selfie. Especially from unique and exotic locations. Even Robots are getting ‘in on the fun’ most recently with NASA’s James Web Space Telescope sending back its own version of a ‘selfie’ – “strictly for engineering and alignment purposes” naturally. As Space Tourism continues to increase, the amount of data traffic ‘strictly.

The CAGRs of Traffic Volumes vs. Revenues

As Satellite & Space Analysts there are few truths in our market: Schedules almost always slip to the right; and the volume of data always increases. While others at NSR frequently comment around schedule (see… nearly anything we publish), the second ‘fact’ requires further explanation. It is no doubt true that the amount of “data”.

Advanced Television: Report: Space traffic data volumes to grow 14x

The Space Traffic Study from satellite and space sector research firm NSR finds that the amount of data to/from space will reach more than 500 exabytes of information from 2020 to 2030. Driven by the increasing needs for satellite-based connectivity and earth observation, data either generated in space or traveling through space will be roughly the equivalent.

GlobeNewswire: NSR Report: Space Traffic Data Volumes Increase 14x Over the Next Ten Years

NSR’s newly released Space Traffic Study report finds that the amount of data to/from space will reach more than 500 exabytes of information from 2020 to 2030. Driven by the increasing needs for satellite-based connectivity and Earth Observation, data either generated in space or traveling through space will be roughly the equivalent of $3.9 billion average capacity.
