Deloitte Space

Accelerating possibilities in the space industry

Space has always been a source of inspiration for humanity. Today, it’s become an enabler of innovation—in banking, agriculture, climate science, technology, national security, energy, telecommunications, and many other industries and sectors—and its potential is only expanding. To help accelerate the possibilities that reside overhead, enterprise leaders will need a well-grounded, globally connected organization with experience in the industry to collaborate with.

Deloitte in the space industry

Deloitte strives to be the go-to professional services organization for commercial entities and government organizations involved in space. We recognize that to maintain the competitive advantage in space for the United States, cooperation between government and the private sector is critical to enabling a successful hybrid industry model. Efforts must span the realms of launch, rapid acquisition, space operations, resource exploitation, resiliency, and both human and robotic space exploration.

Through our experience advising a range of space-focused organizations across multiple government sectors—including defense, intelligence, and civilian—as well as more than 85% of the Fortune 500—Deloitte brings a deep network of specialists from large enterprises to our space industry clients. We enable our clients to navigate emerging trends within the space domain by implementing cutting edge technologies and capitalizing on developing market forces.

Our Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Economy series, available below, begins to explore the critical market forces that are shaping the next decade of commercial LEO and Human Space Flight (HSF) activity. Our modeling tools can forecast market size estimates to analyze catalysts across supply and demand to observe their impact on market growth and opportunity. Read more about how we used our modeling tools through our Commercialization of LEO series.
