Market Overview

A satellite bus is a core network for distributing power and data, containing thermal control, telemetry tracking and command, electric power system, attitude control system, and propulsion system. Manufacturers of spacecraft buses construct them based on the specifications of clients and the nature of the payload they will transport. The primary goals in satellite bus production are payload capacity, payload power allocation, and spacecraft bus heat dispersal. These buses are crucial for satellite systems, performing vital tasks like power generation, thermal control, propulsion, and communication. The satellite bus serves as the main framework and key system of a spacecraft, containing all the necessary parts for operating a satellite. Furthermore, a satellite bus serves as a standard design for creating multiple satellite spacecraft. The satellite bus serves as a vehicle for transporting the satellite payload, which includes all the required equipment for the satellite. Every satellite bus is constructed in a similar manner, but the spacecraft's shape and size vary based on the satellite's size. Additionally, it is made up of multiple subsystems each serving a distinct function, and its structural layout places additional demands on it such as communication connections, onboard data processing, battery power, and data storage. The satellite bus structure accommodates all spacecraft equipment, including payload instruments, specifically intended for use during a space mission. In the past ten years, there has been a significant increase in the use of small satellites and satellite constellations in both military and commercial sectors within the space industry.

Driving Factors

Space systems and satellite infrastructure need numerous components to support imaging solutions, communications, signals, and other enhancements for satellite capabilities. Following the introduction of nano, micro, and small spacecraft buses, the conventional technology components are now pricier. Furthermore, more space infrastructure, like ground tracking stations and associated parts, is necessary. These aspects are anticipated to hinder the expansion of the market. Anticipated decrease in commercial space exploration costs is expected due to smaller launch vehicles enabling easier entry for potential space market participants. The main players in the market and government agencies are highlighting the importance of additive layer manufacturing (ALM) for producing products and services in space. The expected reduction in space launches is attributed to the emergence of reusable launch vehicles and an increase in space exploration initiatives.

Restraining Factors

The significant cost required to create satellite buses may discourage smaller or new players in the industry.
