What main drivers are fueling expansion in the satellite attitude and orbit control system market?
The surge in the utilization of communication satellites is predicted to stimulate the expansion of the satellite attitude and orbit control systems market in the future. These specialized satellites are used for relaying and augmenting radio telecommunication signals between various Earth locations, thereby playing an essential role in facilitating global communication, including TV broadcasts, phone calls, web services, and defense communication. The worldwide embrace of these satellites can be attributed to their comprehensive coverage, long-range communication capabilities, broadcasting abilities, and quick deployment. The Attitude and Orbit Control System (AOCS) plays a key role in ensuring the optimal functioning of these communication satellites. By maintaining the correct alignment and orbit, the AOCS allows the satellite to reliably and consistently transmit and receive signals, position solar panels for power supply, and stay in its allocated orbital slot, thereby offering consistent communication services throughout its operational lifespan. For instance, Kongsberg NanoAvionics, a Lithuania-based minor satellite manufacturer, reported in May 2023, that there are 3,135 communication satellites in Earth orbit, making up 80% of total satellites which includes earth observation, technology innovation, navigation, and space science. As such, the growing utilization of communication satellites is fuelling the expansion of the satellite attitude and orbit control systems market.
