SIA Report Says Satellite Manufacturing Slowed but Services Grew in 2010

摘要

Following a banner year in 2009, global satellite manufacturing revenue shrank by 20 percent in 2010, while the worldwide market for satellite services continued its strong growth last year, according to a June 20 report by the Washington-based Satellite Industry Association (SIA). Despite a growing share of the satellite manufacturing and launch services markets, the U.S. satellite industry shed nearly 7,000 jobs in the first three quarters of 2010 after losing 12,000 jobs in 2009, according to SIA's "State of the Satellite Industry Report."
