Competitive landscape:
Companies from the United States, Canada, Russia, China, India, and Europe are running the next space race in the commercial field. Companies such as SpaceX, Telesat, LeoSat, OnWEeb, Kepler, SES (O3b), Space Norway, and many others are a few of the frontrunners. Recently, Amazon and Facebook have also announced their entry into this field.
· Starlink (SpaceX)
As per reports, in 2018 March, SpaceX received its FCC approval for the launch of a 4,425 satellite constellation with both, Ku- and Ka-band. Further, in November 2018, they received approval for more 7,518 satellites that use V-band.
The satellite internet entity of SpaceX is known as Starlink. The company has the advantage of in-house satellite & rocket building and launch service capabilities. They launch constellations using their own reusable Falcon 9 rockets. They launched 60 Starlink satellites in single go, and currently, around 1,420 satellites are up there in orbit. In future, the company is planning to establish a 30,000 satellite constellation.
Taking the leverage of Starlink’s pre orders, SpaceX stock valuation rose to US$ 74 Bn, which was 60% higher than in 2020 August. In June 2021, Elon Musk estimated that the company is likely to invest up to US$ 30 Bn to develop its Starlink satellite internet services. This is US$ 20 Bn more than the previously estimated cost.
They have collaborated with Microsoft in order to connect its network directly to Azure cloud and the available infrastructure of data centers to focus on enterprise and government clients. As per estimations, Starlink revenue is likely to surpass SpaceX launch revenue. Both companies are likely to have a combined revenue of over US$ 100 Bn in the next five years.
· OneWeb
OneWeb is a company with the second-highest number of satellites launched in space, with 254 in total, as of July 2021. OneWeb is joint venture between Airbus and OneWeb. The company was founded in 2012, and raised over US$ 3 Bn.
