As with many industries, the satellite industry has not been spared the effects of  the global COVID-19 pandemic which hit the world over a year and a half ago. The pandemic has drastically disrupted supply chains and practically shut down key market segments for satellite such as in-flight connectivity and some key segments of the maritime sector such as  the cruise ship business.  Some key installations and contracts were delayed due to travel restrictions.

Military operations have integrated satellite technology as a crucial part of their operations on land, air, and sea for over half a century. And the United States is one of the leading countries followed by Russia and several European nations in boosting space applications for military. But the world is slowly shifting from a US centric sphere, primarily due to ease in accessibility of resources, increased cooperation between non-allied nations, and rapid innovation the technological sector.

According to NSR the Satellite Communication Government and Military market will be reaching an overall revenue of US$ 93 billion by 2029. The increasing need for resilient and real-time connectivity from the Government and Military Sector for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) and Command and Control (CC) functionalities, lead to robust ground infrastructure, to enable new applications to enhance operations. 

Ground equipment and services, spacecraft, and satellite launch segments are considered as the three major pillars of the space industry. The global space market was valued at around US$ 300 to $400 billion, which constitutes the satellite as well as non-satellite segments of industry.
