Space Business

Space Business

I added something new to the left sidebar today; a list of space businesses. Not included on the list are such giants as Boeing or LockMart or Rosaviakosmos or Arianespace; for such companies as these, space is either not their primary business or else they are simply branches of government space agencies. Instead, included on the Space Business list are those actual companies, mostly small start-ups, for whom space is their primary business.

I expect lots of changes to this list, as new companies start up, as some of them fail, and as some get swallowed up by other companies. The list of space businesses will look very different a couple of years from now; I doubt that most of the businesses on the list will even be around in 2010. That's the nature of business though. The majority of all businesses fail within the first five years, and those in the space industry will be no different.

I pretty sure that my current list is not complete. If you know of a space business that I have not included on my list that should be there, please let me know by leaving a link in the comments.
