[SatNews] After many years spent developing its rocket, SpaceX launched its first GEO satellites and proved its upgraded Falcon 9 v1.1 with three launches within a few months.

At the same time, other challengers such as United Launch Alliance are re-entering the commercial market. This is no surprise for incumbents such as Arianespace, ILS and Sea Launch who are already gearing up to prevail in this extremely competitive environment.

Commercial GEO SATCOMs also have a widening choice of economically viable technical options, from increasing use of electric propulsion to a renewed focus on flexibility choices, to be fitted on an evolving portfolio of platforms. New technologies, new markets, new entrants and HTS capacity are all serving to push the satellite manufacturing market forward.
