Space Exploration

Space is no longer just the domain of government agencies. It’s becoming one of the most dynamic frontiers for private innovation and commercial opportunity. This theme captures the companies pushing boundaries in launch services, satellite communications, in-space manufacturing, and orbital infrastructure.

Fueled by advances in rocket reusability, miniaturized satellites, and growing demand for Earth observation and space-based broadband, the space economy is accelerating rapidly. As NASA, defense agencies, and commercial clients expand their footprint beyond Earth, the businesses supporting that expansion are poised to grow.

This portfolio focuses on:

• Launch Providers: Small and medium rocket companies serving national security and commercial payloads.
• Satellite Innovators: Earth imaging, weather, and broadband providers deploying large constellations.
• In-Space Infrastructure: Firms building space stations, on-orbit servicing, and manufacturing capabilities.
• Defense-Backed Growth: Aerospace primes with deep ties to space tech, propulsion, and classified missions.

Space is becoming a real business. These companies are building it.
