Satellite Ground Station Market By Platform (Fixed, Portable, Mobile), By Function (Communication, Earth Observation, Space Research, Navigation, Others), By Orbit (LEO, MEO, GEO), By End User (Commercial, Government, Defense): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2023-2032
The satellite ground station, or SGS, collects and transmits remote sensing satellite data to various consumers and applications. These stations are critical in capturing meteorological and other data for organizations like national weather centers and research institutes. A satellite ground station's major components include a reception antenna, a feed horn, a waveguide, and a receiver, all of which are normally positioned on a pedestal. A radome, or protective cover, is frequently used to protect the antenna.
Governments spend money on satellite ground stations in order to build secure and dependable communication networks for defense and national security applications. These ground stations provide assistance to military operations, information gathering, and secure data transmission. Ground stations are required for communication with satellites and data collecting in government-funded scientific research missions such as space exploration, climate studies, and environmental monitoring. These missions provide ground station suppliers with opportunity to help government research efforts.
Furthermore, increased funding for scientific and commercial space initiatives has resulted in the development of more cost-effective satellite systems and infrastructure, such as CubeSats, small satellite technology, and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. Because of qualities such as dependability and flexibility, private and government organizations have increased their use of tiny satellites in space operations. For instance, in February 2021, the IT-SPINS and MySat-2 (DhabiSat) CubeSats were launched on the Northrop Grumman NG-15 Cygnus spacecraft.
Researchers may utilize the IT-SPINS and MySat-2 CubeSats to create, test, and integrate software modules for control systems and attitude determination. Furthermore, advancements in launch vehicle technology offer flexibility in satellite launches. For instance, Aevum developed the rocket-launching drone RAVN-X in December 2020. RAVN-X is expected to facilitate the launch of small satellites.
Satellite ground station systems are designed for transmitting and receiving signals on the internet, telephony, backhaul, and other services. Interference in the satellite ground station operations severely impacts the performance of the satellite and results in a significant loss of income for the operators.
Moreover, additional costs must be spent on fixing and debugging the problems in communication to further enable normal communications. Interference in satellite ground station occurs due to various factors such as interference from high-power radar, intentional jammers, unauthorized transmissions namely piracy, adjacent satellite interference (ASI), interference from broadcast FM transmitters, aircraft interference, and adjacent frequency emissions from other signals.
Furthermore, military and defense forces across the globe have improved their existing infrastructure to improve battle and defense efficacy. For instance, in February 2021, Hanwha Systems, in collaboration with Intellian Technologies, a South Korean defense contractor, announced the launch of an on-the-move military satellite ground station terminal.
Growth of satellite ground station market is driven by several factors, including increase in adoption of satellite ground station equipment in online streaming services, radio, and TV broadcast. The rise in popularity of online streaming services such as YouTube, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video augments the demand for data consumption and low latency requirements.
The satellite ground station market is segmented into platform, function, orbit, end user, and region. On the basis of platform, it is segregated into fixed, portable, and mobile.
