Mission

In 2023 more than 95% of all mass to orbit was launched from the US and China. Every year the remaining 190 countries are losing independent cost-effective access to space.

Given space’s strategic value to all nations, and the future economic growth that will arise from space exploration, this extreme concentration of power in two countries is worrying, even to these countries’ respective partners, like Europe and Japan.

For the past few years, Private Companies and National Space Agencies in Europe and Asia have tried to create an independent access to space with expendable small-class and medium-class rockets, however as we explain in the insights section, the price competitiveness of their launches is not sustainable, and in the next 10 years, the Reusable Heavy Rockets of US and China will overtake the industry completely leaving only 2 nations in charge of all world’s launches.
