LEO broadband constellations are being rapidly deployed to provide global satellite internet, particularly in underserved rural and remote regions. NASA is funding private companies to develop commercial space stations as successors to the International Space Station (“ISS”), targeting applications in space tourism, microgravity research, and orbital manufacturing. Additionally, firms in the U.S. and abroad are exploring microgravity manufacturing for high -valueproducts such as pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and advanced materials, leveraging the unique properties of the space environment to unlock new commercial applications.
