The “Sub-Orbital Space Tourism Market: Focus on End User, Flight Vehicle Type, and Country – Analysis and Forecast, 2021-2031” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The global sub-orbital space tourism market is estimated to reach $396.6 million in 2031, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.46% during the forecast period 2021-2031.

With the growing need to make space accessible to the general public, several companies have been developing spacecraft as well as high-altitude balloons that will enable space tourism. Some of these companies include Virgin Galactic, Space Perspective, and Orbspace, among other.

Currently, the space industry is focusing on developing technologies, platforms as well as spaceports that will enable space transportation. Sub-orbital flights, including space tourism, have gathered significant interest from the space sector as well as individuals who want to travel to space.

Several companies such as Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin, Space Adventures, PD AeroSpace, LTD, Space Perspective, and Zero Gravity Corporation are focusing on developing platforms that will enable space tourism. The current challenge is to make space trips cheaper and thus more accessible to the public.

One of the major technologies that the industry is focusing is the reusability of space systems such as suborbital or orbital reusable vehicles. The reusable systems allow the companies to reduce costs as well as operate the system for several missions. The developments of the players in the market showcase that this market has the potential to have immense growth in the upcoming years.

Sub-Orbital Space Tourism Industry Overview

Space transportation has garnered significant interest from several space industries in the past few years. In the past, most space transportation has been focused on cargo supply missions to the International Space Station (ISS) and launch services, but currently, this focus has shifted to in-space transportation, planetary explorations, crewed missions, sub-orbital transportation, and space tourism. Several companies, including SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic, have been focusing on developing platforms such as rocket-powered sub-orbital vehicles that will enable the industry to carry out sub-orbital transportation and space tourism.

Market Segmentation

Sub-Orbital Space Tourism Market by End User

The government end-user segment is anticipated to dominate the sub-orbital space tourism market. The factors contributing to this growth are the increasing number of partnerships and contracts that government agencies are forming with commercial players for several sub-orbital transportation applications.

Sub-Orbital Space Tourism Market by Flight Vehicle Type

The sub-orbital reusable vehicles segment is expected to lead the sub-orbital space tourism market. The growth of this segment is attributed to the growing number of emerging companies involved in developing such reusable vehicles that will carry out sub-orbital transportation.

Sub-Orbital Space Tourism Market by Region

North America is expected to dominate the global sub-orbital space tourism market during the forecast period. The number of growing successful demonstrations and test flights carried out by key players in this market has created an opportunity not only for them but also for other players who want to enter the market. Apart from this, these successful demonstrations have proven the viability of these systems and may push these companies to commercialize their product offerings.

Additionally, several spaceports, such as the West Texas Launch Site and Spaceport America launch site, which support sub-orbital spaceflights, are also expected to boost the sub-orbital space tourism operations, which in turn will drive the market growth.

the X/S-band radio telescope as ground station for satellite communication Pordenone (ITALY) October 19th 2021

PrimaLuceLab presents the brand new INTREPID 500XS, the professional radio telescope designed for satellite communication and spacecraft mission support. Science institutes and space agencies now have an affordable system to let them own and operate a high performance ground station.

PrimaLuceLab SpA, registered office: via Roveredo 20/b 33170 Pordenone. PIVA 01736450931.

INTREPID 500S X/S-band radio telescope uses a 5,0 meter diameter full dish antenna with a very high surface precision. The dual X/S band feed allows to record frequencies both in X and S bands with 300MHz bandwidth each and dual circular polarisation. The giant GS-800 antenna tracking system allows high precision pointing and tracking of satellites in the sky, with slewing speed up to 12°/sec.

Main specifications:

• Antenna diameter (m): 5

• Antenna type: Prime focus

• Working frequency: 2100–2400 MHz in S-band / 8300–8600MHz in X-band

• Bandwidth: 300 MHz both in S and X bands

• Feed: Dual S/X band, coaxial

• Polarization: circular, left and right hand

• Mount: GS-800 antenna tracking system

• Pier: C800-HEAVY High load capacity pier for concrete base

• Remote control: yes

• Maximum slewing speed: 12°/sec

• Weatherproof: Yes

INTREPID 500XS comes with GS-800 antenna tracking system with maximum slewing speed of 12°/sec.

The INTREPID 500XS radio telescope uses the professional GS-800 antenna tracking system that we have specially designed and built to move the large 5 meter diameter full dish with great speed (up to 12°/sec) and precision, in order to track even fast moving satellites in low Earth orbit. GS-800 antenna tracking system has 800 Kg load capacity with very high precision pointing and tracking (encoders with a read resolution of 0,0003°). It can also be equipped with a special electronic security system (optional) which “parks” the antenna pointed at the Zenith (the vertical position) when the wind exceeds 75 Km/h, offering the lowest resistance to the wind.
