Updated Q1 2026
Launch Services
SpaceX · Rocket Lab · Relativity Space · Firefly Aerospace
The foundational infrastructure of the space economy. Launch services have achieved commercial maturity through reusable rocket technology, driving costs from $54,500/kg (Space Shuttle) to below $1,500/kg (Falcon 9). Starship-class vehicles project costs under $200/kg.
Satellite Communications
SpaceX/Starlink · Amazon/Kuiper · SES · Telesat
The largest revenue-generating sector in the space economy. Mega-constellations like Starlink are redefining global connectivity, while legacy GEO operators pivot to multi-orbit architectures. Direct-to-device is the next battleground.
Government Programs
NASA · ESA · CNSA · ISRO
Sovereign space programs remain the anchor customers for commercial space, providing predictable demand through multi-year contracts. NASA, ESA, CNSA, ISRO, and JAXA collectively deploy $80B+ annually.
Aerospace Primes / Defense
Lockheed Martin · Northrop Grumman · Boeing · Airbus Defence & Space
Legacy defense contractors that form the industrial backbone of government space. These companies build the largest satellites, operate critical national security constellations, and integrate complex systems across cislunar space.
Public Equities
Rocket Lab (RKLB) · Planet Labs (PL) · Intuitive Machines (LUNR) · Spire Global (SPIR)
Publicly traded pure-play and space-adjacent companies accessible to institutional investors. This sector tracks the investable universe across major exchanges — the companies allocators can actually buy today.
Ground Segment
KSAT · AWS Ground Station · Kratos · Leaf Space
The terrestrial infrastructure that connects space assets to end users — ground stations, antennas, satellite operations centers, and cloud processing. Often overlooked but critical to every space mission.
Earth Observation
Planet Labs · Maxar/WorldView · Spire Global · ICEYE
Satellite imagery and remote sensing for agriculture, insurance, defense, climate, and infrastructure monitoring. The sector is transitioning from government-dominated procurement to commercial analytics platforms.
Navigation & PNT
Xona Space Systems · TrustPoint · NextNav · Satelles
Positioning, Navigation, and Timing services beyond GPS — LEO PNT constellations, resilient navigation for defense, and precision timing for financial markets. An almost invisible but mission-critical sector.
Satellite Manufacturing
Airbus Defence & Space · Thales Alenia Space · York Space Systems · Terran Orbital
Companies that build satellite buses, components, and subsystems. The shift from bespoke GEO birds to mass-produced LEO smallsats is creating factory-model economics.
OED Signal Intelligence
Five proprietary composite indices derived from OED's database of 430+ space economy entities and 30+ live data sources. Not available anywhere else. Built to surface the signals institutional investors actually need.
Measures gap between announced constellations and actual on-orbit satellites. Separates execution from ambition across 16 operators.
Decomposes public company revenue to isolate actual space-derived income from mixed-use segments. SEC filings + OED estimates.
Tracks rate of change in government contract awards, not just totals. Acceleration signals policy momentum before market pricing.
The insurance market is pricing risk the equity market ignores. Carrier exits and rising premiums are leading indicators of systemic stress.
Measures gap between announced constellations and actual on-orbit satellites. Separates execution from ambition across 10 operators.
