Satellite boom strains space sustainability
The report, State of Satellite Deployments & Orbital Operations -2023 by Slingshot Aerospace provides a comprehensive understanding of how the population of orbital spacecraft continues to evolve and how space safety and sustainability solutions will require continuous improvement to maintain pace with the ever-evolving space operations environment.
LAUNCH & SPACECRAFT DEPLOYMENT data uncovers insights into satellite deployment trends across countries, sectors, and mission types, presenting the evolving dynamics of who is sending spacecraft to space and how they’re getting there.
ORBITAL OPERATIONS data shows the continued exponential growth in the number of active satellites and provides insights into population shifts across orbital regimes, with a focus on emerging patterns within low Earth orbit (LEO) constellations and geosynchronous orbits (GEO) clusters.
Lastly, END-OF-LIFE data explores aspects such as de-orbit capabilities, graveyard orbit populations, and the trajectory of insurance claims over the past two decades.
