WASHINGTON, DC, March 21(Teal Group PR) — Teal Group announced today release of new numbers for its Worldwide Mission Model of space payloads proposed to be built and launched during 2022-2031. In its survey, Teal identified a total of 34,196 satellites, probes and capsules destined for orbit over the next 10 years.

“For more than two decades now, we’ve been annually revising our payload counts,” says Teal’s senior space analyst, Marco Cáceres. “The growth trend in the numbers has been consistent since we first started tracking payloads in 1992, but in the past few years we’ve noticed sharp increases in the payload programs under development and being planned.”
