Research and Markets: Hosted Payloads: The View From Within (2012 Edition)
DUBLIN --(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/9sl8g3/hosted_payloads)
has announced the addition of the "Hosted
Payloads: The View From Within (2012 Edition)" report to their
offering.
Hosted Payloads: the View From Within assesses government payloads on
commercial spacecraft. The report is based on an extensive consultation
process including over 40 interviews with top governement and private
executives. An exhaustive stakeholder survey identifies and assesses
corresponding and conflicting perspectives from eight key stakeholders:
- Satellite operators
- Satellite manufacturers
- Launch service providers
- Satellite services providers
- Law firms and insurers
- Space agencies and government agencies
- Defense and security agencies
- Science and research institutes

Following discussions with the Hosted Payload Alliance, Euroconsult
decided to pursue development of a report on government-funded secondary
payloads on a commercial satellite. This report identifies the hosted
payload launches in the past as well as the hosted payloads currently
contracted to be launched before 2015.
Although the hosted payload concept dates back to the early seventies,
it has only recently turned into a hot debate, with the establishment of
industry associations augmenting awareness of the benefits of hosted
government payloads on commercial satellites. In parallel, leading
industry players are heavily promoting their own hosted payload
capability.
Due to budget restraints, government agencies around the world are
increasingly open to adopting the hosted payload concept. As a result,
the requirements for government and industry related to hosted payloads
are converging. The report identifies 50 hosted payload launches in
which primarily the U.S. and Europe have dominated the initiatives.
Despite industry and government efforts, only 11 payloads are currently
under contract and expected to be launched before 2015. Europe appears
to have built up a steady flow of hosted payloads with ESA as the
propelling force. Publicly announced follow-on missions in North America
are still limited. Numerous initiatives are under discussion yet are
currently awaiting the commitment of leading government agencies such as
NASA and the DoD to boost the deal flow over the next five years.
This report not only identifies the key challenges for each stakeholder
group involved in hosted payload programs but also highlight lessons
learned and best practices to manage and mitigate these challenges.
Key Topics Covered:
Executive Summary
Hosted Payload Program Tracker
Case Study Analysis
360� Stakeholder Analysis
