Impact of COVID -19 on Spacecraft Industry

Production of Spacecraft will be more adaptable after COVID-19. The supply chain disruption brought on by the shutdown, however is expected to have an impact on the companies’ potential future growth. Additionally, businesses are losing a lot of money because of the continuous pandemic, which cause considerable losses throughout the year. Therefore, businesses must operate on high margin basis in order to revive the market. Additionally, the revenue creation of the spacecraft corporation has significantly decreased as a result of the lockdown.

Spacecraft Market Segmentation

For a Spacecraft to move and move through space, a propulsion system is necessary. There are various propulsion system kinds, including chemical, electrical, and nuclear. Power Systems are in charge of supplying energy to the spacecraft for a variety of purpose, including communication, research, and navigate. The ability of a spacecraft to transmit data and receive instruction from the planet depends on its communication systems. The temperature of spacecraft is controlled by thermal control system in the hostile environment of space. Spacecraft require guidance and manage their trajectory across space. Instruments or equipment carried by spacecraft for a variety of uses, including scientific research, earth observation, and military applications are referred to a payload.

Regional Analysis

It is predicted that the Asia Pacific would account for the largest portion of the worldwide spacecraft market. It is mostly caused by rising space investment from developing nations like China, India, Japan, and South Korea. In order to catchup with the U.S., China is also making significant investments in space technology. Earth observation, Satellite communication, and Satellite Manufacturing are areas in which the Chinese Government and private businesses are heavily investing. Many military and commercial satellite have been developed and launched as a result of these substantial investment. China thereby surpassed the U.S. to become the second largest nation in terms of the number of operational satellite in Orbit.
