Source: Trend selection and impact levels: SpaceNexus editorial judgement. Figures: the source linked beside each one · as of Sep 26, 2026
The trends and their impact levels are SpaceNexus editorial judgements. Every figure and factual claim on a card is taken from the source linked beside it (company filings and releases, government and agency documents, and the public summaries of industry reports such as Novaspace and Aon), with the date the figure describes. The set is re-verified at least every 100 days; a figure we cannot source is removed, not estimated. The live figures at the top are counted from our own funding tracker, jobs board and the SATCAT catalogue.
