Space economy intelligence
Satellites, launch infrastructure, ground segments, and the orbital services ecosystem.
The space economy is being reshaped by falling launch costs, satellite miniaturization, and surging demand for space-based services. LEO broadband constellations are entering service. Earth observation is transitioning from government monopoly to commercial commodity. National security space programs are expanding rapidly. An emerging ecosystem of in-orbit servicing, debris removal, and space manufacturing is taking shape.
The sector’s complexity lies in its vertical integration and cross-domain dependencies. A satellite constellation program involves spectrum licensing, spacecraft manufacturing, launch procurement, ground station deployment, and service commercialization — each with its own competitive landscape and regulatory environment.
Delphidata maps the space economy as an interconnected network. Satellite programs are linked to their launch contracts, spacecraft manufacturers, ground segment operators, and service providers. This relationship-rich structure enables queries that span the full value chain.
What Delphidata tracks.
Structured data across the full value chain.
Satellite programs
All orbit regimes and mission types — communications (broadband, IoT, mobile), Earth observation (optical, SAR, hyperspectral), navigation, signals intelligence, and scientific missions. Mapped with constellation architecture, spacecraft specs, orbit parameters, and deployment timeline.
Launch infrastructure
Launch vehicle development and production, launch site construction and upgrades, and launch service procurement. Connected to the missions they serve and propulsion/avionics supply chains.
Ground segment
Gateway earth stations, TT&C facilities, mission operations centers, and user terminal manufacturing. Mapped by location, frequency band, constellation served, and operator.
In-orbit services
Satellite servicing, debris removal, in-space manufacturing, and orbital logistics. Connected to technology developers, mission operators, and target customers.
Space supply chain
Satellite bus and payload manufacturers, component suppliers (reaction wheels, star trackers, solar arrays, RF systems), test and integration facilities, and launch vehicle subsystem providers.
Who uses this intelligence.
Satellite operators and manufacturers
Track the competitive landscape, monitor constellation deployment rates, identify supply chain risks, and evaluate market entry opportunities in new orbit regimes or mission types.
Launch service providers
Forecast launch demand, track competing vehicle programs, and identify customers for dedicated and rideshare missions.
Investors
Screen space ventures by technology maturity, contract backlog, manufacturing readiness, and regulatory progress — separating credible commercial programs from pre-revenue concepts.
Government space agencies and defense
Monitor commercial space capabilities, track allied and adversary space programs, and assess industrial base capacity for national security missions.
