Posted: Friday, February 10, 2023 at 12:07 PM CST

Northbrook, IL 60062 -- (SBWire) -- 02/10/2023 --The space propulsion market is projected to grow from USD 8.3 billion in 2021 to USD 22.5 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 22.1% from 2021 to 2026.

Space propulsion systems are used to generate thrust in spacecraft, launch vehicles, capsules/cargos, and rovers/spacecraft landers for orbit insertion, station keeping, lifting launch vehicles into space, and attitude control, among others. These systems include chemical propulsion technologies such as solid, liquid, hybrid, and cold gas propulsion and non-chemical propulsion technologies such as electric, solar, nuclear, and laser propulsions. The components used in space propulsion systems include thrusters, propellant feed systems, rocket motors, nozzles, reactors, propulsion thermal control, and power processing units (PPU). The space propulsion market covers the use of chemical and non-chemical propulsions across government & military and commercial end users. By end user, the market is segmented into commercial and government & defense.
