The Federal Aviation Administration's Associate Administrator for Commercial Space Transportation (AST) has prepared a projection of the low Earth orbit (LEO) commercial satellite launch market for the period 1998 to 2010. The l998 LEO Commercial Market Projections is the fifth annual assessment of launch demand for all commercial space systems in orbits other than geosynchronous orbits (GEO), and addresses launches to LEO, medium Earth orbit (MEO), and elliptical orbits (ELI). Launch demand was assessed for Big, Little, and Broadband LEO telecommunications systems, remote sensing satellites, and foreign scientific payloads. The most significant change between the l998 LEO Commercial Market Projections and last year's forecast is the inclusion of two Broadband LEO systems in the 'baseline' scenario, compared with only one broadband system in last year's 'high growth' scenario.
