Client’s Problem Statement
Our client, a leader in space services, was keen to build a substantive business in the Space Situational Awareness (SSA) market in Europe. The senior management wanted to take many crucial decisions such as: which SSA capability to focus on, which value proposition would help them win, which countries in the European Union to prioritize, and to focus on which end-use industries.
MnM Approach
We started by identifying key disruptive technology trends that were changing the revenue mix of our client’s clients, who were: satellite operators, satellite owners, space agencies, space insurance companies, energy industry, air navigation service providers across Europe. We also interviewed a host of potential customers in end-use industries to understand their unmet needs, what they looked for in a technology partner, possible use cases, and benefits from the SSA sensing technology.
Our work helped the client assess the market potential, high impact use cases, expected revenue forecast of high-quality Low Earth Orbit debris raw sensor data, gain information on an advanced software facility like Comspoc, know about applications such as space event generator and their uses by end-users like governments, military, and commercial entities. Further, we also helped the client understand the competitive landscape, varying business models and strategies of different players in space situational awareness. Thanks to our help, the client was successful in devising a differentiated product offering and forging suitable alliances to win in this market.
Revenue Impact (RI)
Our work resulted in the client tapping into an approximate USD 1.4 billion market, with projected revenue of USD 300 million in three years.

Space situational awareness servcice such as space weather services, near-earth object detection services, and space surveillance and tracking services are offered by the leading players in the market to enable the detection of objects such Space debris, Rocket Bodies, mission related debris, and fragmented debris and among others.
The growing threat of space debris, and rise in space exploration activities, and growing traffic of space are key factors driving the growth of the space surveillance and tracking service market.
The space situational awareness market is estimated to be USD 1.15 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 1.44 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 4.54% from 2018 to 2023. The growth of the market is driven by several factors, including the growing congestion of objects in the space, and the focus of government agencies and private entities on space situational awareness.
The space situational awareness market has been segmented based on offering, object, end user and region. Based on offering, the services segment is estimated to lead the market in 2018. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the ongoing activities, such as space debris modelling and robotic exploration of the solar system and the emphasis on developing space weather and Near-Earth Object (NEO) services, while research, development, and validation activities continue in the domain of space surveillance and tracking.
Based on object, the fragmentation debris segment is estimated to lead the space situational awareness market in 2018. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the increasing congestion in space due to fragmentation debris as well as an increase in space exploration activities.
Based on end user, the commercial segment of the space situational awareness market is projected to grow at a higher CAGR, as compared to the government & military segment, during the forecast period due to various private space entities focusing on SSA solutions for satellite operations throughout the satellite’s lifecycle. Commercial companies are taking an interest in space situational awareness to offer space-based services, such as to deorbiting of non-functional spacecraft, conjunction avidness of satellites, and removal of debris left by government/military surveillance networks, and offering data-sharing transparency for satellite operators/owners.
North America is estimated to account for the largest share of the space situational awareness market in 2018. This can be attributed to the high demand for space situational awareness activities from prominent organizations, such as NASA and the Department of Defense due to the increasing reliance on space assets and for maintaining safe space operations. The Europe and Asia Pacific held considerable share in the space situational awareness market in 2018. Middle East, South America and Africa are the key regions considered under the Rest of the World (RoW).
Some of the major players operating in the space situational awareness market include Schafer (US), Analytical Graphics (US), Applied Defense Solutions (US), ExoAnalytic Solutions (US), and Vision Engineering Solutions (US). These key players offer various space situational awareness services and software, such as conjunction analysis, space debris end-to-end services, Joint Space Operations Centre (JSpOC), and Orbit Determination Tool Kit (ODTK), among others. New product development, partnerships, and contracts are the major growth strategies adopted by these players to improve their position in the market.

The continuous addition of newly designed space systems and spacefaring entities, along with the presence of hazardous debris, is resulting in a complex and congested space environment. This increasing space congestion leads to the requirement of enhanced space situational awareness capabilities for satellite operators and government agencies to effectively respond to the changing nature of space operations.
According to the European Space Agency (ESA), in almost 60 years of space activities, more than 5,250 launches have resulted in about 42,000 tracked objects in orbit, of which about 23,000 remain in space and are regularly tracked by the US Space Surveillance Network. This information is maintained in their catalog, which covers objects larger than 5 to 10 centimetres in the Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) and 30 centimetres to 1 meter at geostationary altitudes.
Space debris, also known as space junk, space waste, space trash, space litter, or space garbage is a term for the mass of defunct, artificially-created objects in space, most notably in Earth orbit, such as old satellites and spent rocket stages. It includes fragments from satellite and rocket disintegrations, erosions, and collisions.
Fragmentation debris in the Earth’s orbit originated from the fragmentation of spacecraft and rocket bodies. Currently, fragmentation debris makes up more than 40% of the US space object catalog. Fragmentation debris generally occurs in 3 categories: anomalous, due to explosions, and collisions. Fragmentation debris in the Earth’s orbit has majorly grown due to the fragmentation of spacecraft and rocket bodies.
Space is becoming increasingly congested with active satellites or operational payloads and discarded space junk. The growing dependence on space systems within the Earth’s orbit, increasing number of space systems, and rapidly increasing volume of space debris constitute a growing vulnerability to operations of active satellites and operational spacecraft.
Non-operational payloads or Orbital space debris, also referred to as artificial or manmade space debris, is basically any space object or hardware fragment that no longer has a useful function. Accidental incapacitations and satellite interceptions by surface-launched missiles have been major contributors to non-operational payloads trash in space in the recent past. International guidelines have been implemented for satellite operators to ensure that their incapacitated spacecraft are removed within a reasonable period of time after a mission ends.

Growth opportunities and latent adjacency in Space Situational Awareness (SSA) Market
I am very interested in the market sizing of satellite tracking and monitoring specifically. Also, what the competitors are charging for a monthly subscription model for satellite tracking data.
Hi, Does this report cover the subscription prices that satellite operators are currently paying for satellite tracking data?
