Receive The Space Report 2015 with Registration
The Space Foundation recently published its 2015 edition of The Space Report: The Authoritative Guide to Global Space Activity, with data on the growth of the global space economy, invaluable information for anyone planning investments in space-related businesses.
According to The Space Report 2015, startups are launching nanosatellites with the goal of imaging the entire surface of the Earth. Planet Labs alone was responsible for nearly a quarter of the satellites launched in 2014. Established companies are making it easier to access high-quality imagery, even to the point where a smartphone app can be used to task a satellite to capture an image.
This and other this insightful global space industry data is available in The Space Report 2015, which sells for $399 at www.TheSpaceReport.org, but is free with registration for the Space Technology & Investment Forum.
