In "Space Is Open for Business," Robert C. Jacobson embarks on an illuminating journey into the vast universe of space commerce, demystifying an industry that has long been perceived as the exclusive domain of billionaires and rocket scientists. With meticulous research and insights from over 100 industry leaders and investors, Jacobson constructs a compelling narrative that not only lays bare the complexities of the space sector but also highlights its profound impact on nearly every facet of our daily lives. This book serves as an essential guidebook, offering a panoramic view of the burgeoning opportunities, the investment landscape, and the symbiotic relationship between space exploration and terrestrial advancements. Jacobson's narrative is both an invitation and a clarion call to entrepreneurs, innovators, and dreamers, presenting space not merely as a frontier for exploration but as a dynamic field ripe with untapped potential for economic growth, technological breakthroughs, and cultural enrichment. Through the lens of NewSpace, a movement characterized by the commercialization of space, "Space Is Open for Business" explores how accessibility to space is transforming industries on Earth, fostering innovation, and inspiring a new generation. With a blend of compelling case studies, strategic insights, and visionary outlooks, Jacobson makes a persuasive case for the role of space in driving forward human progress, offering readers a roadmap to not just participate in but also contribute to the space economy's trillion-dollar future.

The report also anticipated a rate of 580 smallsats launched per year by 2022 and an increase to 820 per year by 2027; a main driver of these increased quantities will come from satellite constellations, which Research and Markets expects to account for 82 percent of the predicted 7,000 smallsats.4
