- Rebelgecko 7y agoRelatively small but very rapidly growing (like the smallsat market in general). A decade ago there were a dozen or so cubesats launched per year. Now there's a few hundred, and that number is projected to continue to grow [1]. Personally I do think that the small launcher market is a bit of a VC-subsidized bubble— I suspect that a lot of the companies in the space are going to fold over the next few years.
