Abstract:The Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Office of the Associate
Administrator for Commercial Space Transportation (AST) of the U.S. Department
of Transportation (DOT) endeavors to foster a healthy commercial space launch
capability in the United States. Since 1993, the DOT has requested that its
industry advisory group, the Commercial Space Transportation Advisory Committee
(COMSTAC), prepare and maintain a commercial spacecraft launch demand mission
model. This report presents the 1997 update of the worldwide commercial
geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO) satellite mission model for the period 1997
through 2010. It is based on market forecasts obtained in early 1997.
It is limited to payloads open to internationally competitive launch service
procurements. Payloads captive to any launch system are excluded from the
mission model. The FAA/AST develops low-earth-orbit (LEO) and medium-earth-
orbit (MEO) market forecasts separately from this report. 45p.
