Space Foundation Indexes are Up and Running
Written by: developer
The Space Foundation maintains three indexes that are updated daily on the Space Foundation’s Web site at www.SpaceFoundation.org/spaceindex. The indexes, which give a clear picture of how the overall industry is faring, include:
• The Space Foundation Index, which tracks the performance of 29 public companies that derive a significant portion of their revenue from space-related products and services.
• The Space Foundation Infrastructure Index, which tracks performance of companies that provide space-related hardware, software, and integration services for space-related applications such as manufacturing of satellites, launch vehicles, terminals and chipsets.
• The Space Foundation Services Index, which tracks performance of companies that derive significant revenues from services that depend on space assets for collection, transmission, and/or provisioning, such as those related to satellite broadcasting, communications, and remote sensing.
