The report features a quantitative analysis of the extent to which the manufacture and sale of commercial launch vehicles, as well as the conduct of commercial space activities enabled by the launch industry, are responsible for contributing to production and generating jobs in a variety of space- and non-space-related industries in the United States. This report examines the U.S. commercial space transportation industry and the launch enabled industries together to assess the full economic impact of commercial space transportation on the U.S. economy. Those industries include launch vehicle manufacturing and services, satellite manufacturing, ground equipment manufacturing, satellite services, remote sensing, and distribution industries. The report highlights how those industries affected the economic activity, employee earnings, and number of jobs in all major U.S. industry sectors, as defined by the U.S. Department of Commerce's RIMS II economic model.
