Market Trends of asia-pacific satellite attitude and orbit control system Industry
The trend for better fuel and operational efficiency with respect to satellite mass was witnessed in the region
- The mass of a satellite has a significant impact on the launch of the satellite. This is because the heavier the satellite, the more fuel and energy are required to launch it into space. Launching a satellite involves accelerating it to a very high speed, typically around 28,000 kilometers per hour, to place it in orbit around the Earth. The amount of energy required to achieve this speed is proportional to the satellite's mass.
- As a result, a heavier satellite requires a larger rocket and more fuel to launch it into space. This, in turn, increases the cost of the launch and can also limit the types of launch vehicles that can be used. The primary classification types according to mass are large satellites that are more than 1,000 kg. During 2017-2022, around 75+ large satellites launched were owned by North American organizations. A medium-sized satellite has a mass between 500 and 1000 kg. Asia-Pacific organizations operated more than 65+ satellites launched. Similarly, satellites that have a group of less than 500 kg are considered small satellites, and around 200+ small satellites were launched in this region.
- Overall, the mass of a satellite significantly impacts its launch, requiring more energy and fuel to launch a heavier satellite, which increases the cost and can limit the launch options available. The number of operating satellites in the Asia-Pacific region is projected to surge during 2023-2029 due to the growing demand from the commercial and military space sectors.

The increasing space expenditures of different space agencies are expected to impact the market positively
- AOCS controls a three-axis stable Earth-pointing attitude in all mission modes and measures spacecraft velocity and orbital position. Considering the increase in space-related activities in the Asia-Pacific region, satellite manufacturers are enhancing their satellite production capabilities to tap into the rapidly emerging market potentials. The prominent Asia-Pacific countries with robust space infrastructure are China, India, Japan, and South Korea.
- China National Space Administration (CNSA) announced space exploration priorities during 2021–2025, including enhancing national civil space infrastructure and ground facilities. As a part of this plan, the Chinese government established China Satellite Network Group Co. Ltd to develop a 13,000-satellite constellation for satellite internet.
- In Asia-Pacific, only China, India, and Japan have full end-to-end space capacity and complete space infrastructure space technology (communication, Earth observation (EO), and navigation satellites), satellite manufacturing, rockets, and spaceports. Other countries in the region must rely on international cooperation to carry out their respective space programs. This is expected to change to some extent in the coming years, although many countries in the region are developing indigenous space capabilities as part of their latest agile strategies. In June 2022, South Korea launched the Nuri rocket, putting six satellites into orbit, making it the seventh country in the world to successfully launch a payload weighing more than one metric ton onto an air launch vehicle.
