Commercial satellite launch service refers to the business of providing launch vehicles and associated services to deliver satellites into space. These services are offered by private companies to a wide range of customers including government agencies, commercial satellite operators, research institutions, and the other entities that require satellites to be placed in specific orbits.
Launching satellites into space is a complex & costly endeavor. The expenses associated with building & launching rockets as well as ensuring their reliability can be a significant barrier for both satellite operators and launch service providers. Delays in launch schedules are quite common due to various factors including technical issues, weather conditions, regulatory approvals, and supply chain disruptions. These delays can impact the timely deployment of satellites and the execution of planned missions. The commercial satellite launch service industry has become more competitive with the emergence of multiple launch providers. Intense competition can exert pressure on pricing strategies and profit margins of launch service companies.
