The Washington Space Business Roundtable will be presenting"The Next Wave of Smallsat Launchers" panel discussion on October 14th at Hogan Lovells US LLP in Washington DC.
At present, launch opportunities for smallsats are limited to rideshares, flying only when space is available on larger vehicles. Responding to predicted growth in smallsats, a new generation of low-cost, responsive launch vehicles are entering the market. Will the business models behind smallsat launch-on-demand close? Will the price points advertised remain consistent? Will the wave of smallsat customers predicted come to fruition? Come hear for yourself on October 14th.
