NASA's Space Launch System rocket is seen atop pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center before its maiden flight in 2022. Its second flight, carrying a crew of four, is scheduled for launch in April 2026.
2025 could prove to be one of the most transformative years on record for the space economy. As we look ahead, here are 10 predictions for the space capital markets in 2025.
The future of space exploration involves both telescopic and physical explorations of space by robotic spacecraft and human spaceflight.Near-term physical exploration missions, focused on obtaining new information about the Solar System, are planned and announced by both national and private organisations.
Notable test flights of spaceflight systems may be listed even if they were not planned to reach space. Some lists are further divided into orbital launches (sending a payload into orbit, whether successful or not) and suborbital flights (e.g. ballistic missiles, sounding rockets, experimental spacecraft).
The privatization was controversial, and its impact is still debated today, as doubling of passenger numbers and investment was balanced by an increase in rail subsidy. [15] These privatizations received mixed views from the public and the parliament.
