In 1998, U.S. launch service providers conducted 22 launches licensed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), an increase of 29 percent over the 17 launches conducted in 1997. Of these 22, 17 were for commercial or international customers, resulting in a 47 percent share of the world's market for commercial launches. Revenues from the FAA-licensed space launches surpassed the $1 billion mark for the first time in 1998, reaching $1,119 million, an increase of 19 percent over 1997 revenues of $940 million. Over the past five years, revenues have increased by more than a factor of three, up from $353 million in 1994.
