NewSpace Global is proud to announce the release of the NewSpace Global 2014 SmallSat Report. This report takes a market-focused approach to the small satellite (“SmallSat”) sub-vertical, studying market histories, trends, and near-term forecasting to inform critical business decisions. The Report examines the global industry leaders, major investors, and sources of revenue in this sometimes obscure market, which has already raised over $200Mln in investments and which NSG Analysts think could potentially exceed $1Bln in revenue by the end of 2014.
