t's getting crowded up there. A recent article in the Pittsburgh
Post Gazette (May 20, 2020) estimated that there
are 2,200 operational satellites orbiting our planet. But
that pales in comparison to the anticipated 50,000 or
more expected within the next ten years. This explosive
growth is being driven by the exponentially expanding demand
for satellite navigation, internet and telecommunications
mega-constellations. SpaceX's Starlink, Amazon's
Kuiper, OneWeb and others are among the companies driving
this vast expansion.
From the Space Race to New Space
It all started in the mid-1950s when the U.S.S.R. successfully
launched Sputnik. People all over the planet watched in wonder
as this bright object made its way across the nighttime sky.
And so, the " space race " began with space superiority taking
on political-economic implications.
AT&T's Telstar was launched in 1962, spawning its own topselling
instrumental recording. About that same time, President
John Kennedy called upon the nation to " commit itself
to achieving the goal, before this decade is
out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning
him safely to the Earth. "
In its early stages, nearly all U.S.
space activity was driven by
government space exploration
and military programs
with some exceptions.
The Commercial
Space Launch Act of
1984 recognized the
private sector regarding
launch
vehicles, orbital
satellites and
private launch
services.
