Macro Outlook

Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin announced they have put together a team of knowledgeable organizations for a project called Orbital Reef. This collaborative project includes efforts from Sierra Space, Redwire Space, Genesis Engineering Solutions, and last but certainly not least, Arizona State University. [4] They will be building a new space station and creating the next ecosystem for commercial expansion with a business park creating unique opportunities. Launch is set for 2025-2030. “Now anyone can establish an address in orbit” - Blue Origin. [5]

Voyager Space Holdings (VSH) also announced a collaborative private space station set for 2027 named Starlab. This team consists of VSH, led by Nanoracks, and Lockheed Martin. This space station is being built for science-research and sparking industrial activity within orbit. [6] Between the new partnerships, whether governmental or public/private, and the mergers and acquisitions throughout the industry, one can already tell what the future of space holds…collaboration. As the proverb goes, “If you want to go fast go alone. If you want to go far go together”.
