The Federal Aviation Administrations (FAA) Office of the Associate Administrator for Commercial Space Transportation (AST) of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) endeavors to foster a healthy commercial space launch capability in the United States. An important element of these efforts is to establish the commercial space industrys view of future space launch requirements. Since 1993, the DOT has requested that its industry advisory group, the Commercial Space Transportation Advisory Committee (COMSTAC), prepare and maintain a commercial spacecraft launch demand mission model. This report presents the 1997 update of the worldwide commercial geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO) satellite mission model for the period 1997 through 2010. It is based on market forecasts obtained in early 1997 from major spacecraft manufacturers, satellite operators and launch service providers. The mission model is limited to addressable payloads only. In other words, it is limited to payloads open to internationally competitive launch service procurements. Payloads captive to any launch system are excluded from the mission model. Also note that the number of vehicle launches per year resulting from this payload launch demand mission model will be a subset of this data due to the potential for multiple manifesting on launch vehicles. The FAA/AST develops low-earth-orbit (LEO) and medium-earth-orbit (MEO) market forecasts separately from this report (Reference 1).
