European Spaceport Review

European Spaceport Review – Now Available!

We are proud to announce the completion of the 3rd edition of our European Spaceport Review (information updated to the first quarter of 2020).

The report assesses proposals and developments from 8 European countries, scoring each spaceport on over 70 variables, including:
•Weather (e.g. feasible launch windows in the year)
•Geographical situation (e.g. attainable azimuths for vertical launch)
•Existing infrastructure
•Proposed plans
•Regulations and government support
•Investment and financials
•Launchers (e.g. credibility of concepts)
•Local and domestic space industry (e.g. demand, supply chain, expertise, etc.)

With the use of Bayesian statistics and proprietary formulae over 300 pages of information is condensed into a digestible four-page traffic light comparison at the end (Appendix D).
