GSO Methodology • Information requested of ~ 90 launch providers, satellite manufacturers & operators • 21 companies responded in 2009 (29 in 2008) • Individual & comprehensive responses • Int’l competitive procurements only • Sort satellites by mass categories • Small - < 2,500 kg • Medium - 2,500 to 4,200 kg • Large - 4,200 to 5,400 kg • Extra Large - > 5,400 kg • Assign satellite demand to launchers
GSO MethodologyCont. • Questionnaire on factors affecting their satellite procurement plans • 13 satellite operators responded in 2009 (17 in 2008) • 6 operators responded in both 2008 & 2009 • 7 new responders in 2009 • Near term manifest (2009-2011) • Long term forecast (2012-2018)
Realization factor developed for sensitivities Maximum and Minimum Variations of actual launches vs. forecasted demand Calculated over 5-year rolling period GSO Forecast Sensitivities • Several factors identified that impact launch forecast • Satellite-Related issues • Launch Vehicle-Related issues • Schedule-Related issues • Dual-Manifesting • Weather • Plan performance • Funding • Regulatory
GSO Trends • Long-Term Satellite Forecast • Relatively stable in the near term • Satellites – flat to slight decrease • Launch demand – slight decrease • Satellite mass – slight increase • Transponders per satellite – slight increase • Relatively consistent average in the long term • Launch demand – flat (~15 launches/yr) • Satellites – flat (~20 satellites/yr)
GSO Forecast Summary • 2009 satellite demand of 27 planned for 21 launches • Combination of single and dual manifest • 2010 satellite demand of 21 planned for 16 launches • Combination of single and dual manifest • Projected average annual demand (2009-2018) • 20.8 satellites • 15.7 launches • Other factors identified may affect launchers • New launch vehicle entrants • Dual manifest launches • Operator assessments negative compared to 2008 • Some responder changes from 2008 survey • Uncertain economic conditions • Reliability of launchers/satellites • Hosted payloads • ITAR free satellites
