Space Markets

The Next Generation Marketplace

For the Off-Planet Economy

Why Space Markets?

Launch Costs

Since the early 1980s the cost of delivering a kilogram to orbit has been decreasing exponentially. It started at about a 100,000 dollars a kilogram. SpaceX has had a huge impact on this cost curve. In 2006 with the Falcon 1 rocket bringing it below 10,000 dollars per kilogram. With Falcon 9 in 2017 bringing it below 2,000 dollars. Falcon heavy bringing it below 1,000 dollars per kilogram. And its anticipated over the next couple of years that Starship will bring that cost down below 100 dollars per kilogram placed in orbit.

Number of Satellites

What does this mean? It means there's a lot more satellites in orbit. Its a growing part of our economy. We are now seeing the number of satellites shoot up exponentially and should cross 15,000 by the end of 2025.

Growing Off-Planet Economy

Satellites count is growing exponentially. Soon, a need for orbital compute and digital storage will emerge. Declining costs for delivery to orbit and a new generation of orbital stations increase both research and commercial opportunities.

Infrastructure Utilization

Most off-planet infrastructure is high cost and suffers from low utilization. A solution is needed to coordinate subleasing of assets to drive up utilization.

Asset Leasing Protocol

This protocol begins with satellite communications. It will expand to a range of orbital infrastructure including a wide set of digital services, delivery, and station subleasing. The same protocol can address asset leasing needs in traditional markets.
