Industry arcs, read against the global record.
Five interactive space reports map decades of structural change across the US, China, the Gulf and Europe to the policy, capital and capacity carrying it.
The New Space Economy: US, China, Europe and the Gulf Build Sovereign Orbit
The new space economy is not a single commercial market replacing government programmes. It is a hybrid industrial system in which states use procurement, infrastructure, regulation and strategic capital to secure sovereign access to launch, communications, navigation, observation and data—while private firms accelerate production and service models around those public missions.
Open interactive report →The Satellite Internet Race: Sovereignty, Spectrum and the New Global Network
Low-Earth-orbit broadband is becoming a new layer of global network infrastructure, but the contest is not simply over subscriber counts. It is over spectrum priority, gateways, device access, sovereign and defence users, orbital capacity and the ability to combine terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks under national regulatory control.
Open interactive report →The Defence-Space Build-Out: Golden Dome and the Militarisation of Orbit
Space has moved from a support domain for terrestrial forces to a contested layer of missile warning, tracking, communications, targeting and potentially interception. Golden Dome concentrates that transition in one programme, but the wider arc is global: proliferated constellations, commercial integration and counterspace threats are forcing governments to fund resilience while confronting strategic-stability and governance risks.
Open interactive report →Orbital Congestion: Mega-Constellations, Debris and the Governance of Space
Earth orbit is a finite operating environment whose safety is being tested by the speed and scale of constellation deployment. Governance is shifting from broad voluntary principles toward measurable disposal rules, traffic coordination, licensing conditions and active-removal demonstrations, but fragmented national regimes and legacy debris mean compliance by new missions alone cannot stabilise the environment.
Open interactive report →Reusable Launch: The Global Repricing of Access to Orbit
Reusable launch is changing access to orbit through cadence, asset utilisation and manufacturing learning—not through recovery as a spectacle. The United States has established an operational lead, while Europe, China and India pursue different demonstrator and industrial-policy paths. The decisive global divide is between recovering hardware and reliably reflighting it within an integrated launch system.
