On the ground
Every satellite starts on the ground. Control software, antennas and factories decide how many fly and how fast their data comes back.

In serviceRadar network and orbital catalog
Worldwide radars that track objects in low orbit
TestingKSAT Hyper
KSAT (Kongsberg Satellite Services)
Reach your satellites through relay spacecraft without waiting
TestingMega Class bus
Large satellite body with about ten times the usual power
From the pad to orbit
Launch
Launch sets the price of everything above it. Boosters that land and fly again have cut the cost of reaching orbit. The race now is reusable upper stages and more flights.
80–160 km
Edge of space
The Kármán line, 100 km up, is where space officially begins. Suborbital rockets, spaceplanes and balloons work here, and reentry capsules come back through it.
Paused
New Shepard
Reusable rocket for short trips to the edge of space
In developmentNext-generation spaceship
Reusable rocket plane flying tourists to the edge of space
In service
W-Series capsule
Spacecraft that works in orbit then parachutes back to Earth
In service
Talon-A
Reusable rocket plane for flights faster than Mach 5
160–2,000 km
Low Earth orbit
Most satellites fly here, around 400 km up, where the space station is. Internet constellations, orbital factories and servicing craft share the crowded shells.
In serviceStarlink
Satellite internet for places with little or no connectivity
- In service
Dragon
Capsule that carries astronauts and cargo to the space station
In development
Haven-1
One-module private space station for visiting crews of four
TestingBlueBird (next generation)
Huge-antenna satellite that connects directly to ordinary phones
2,000–35,786 km
High orbits
Far above, one satellite can see half the Earth. Some hover over a single spot, 35,786 km up. Tugs now move satellites between orbits.
In service
MicroGEO
Small high-orbit satellite giving one customer its own broadband
In serviceDirect-to-device network
Satellite texting and data for regular phones without cell coverage
In developmentOtter
Spacecraft that docks with satellites to extend their lives
In development
Endurance
Spacecraft that docks with old satellites to keep them working
35,786–384,400 km
Earth to Moon
The long stretch between Earth and the Moon. Companies here sell spacecraft that can change orbit, and radio relays for missions that go beyond low orbit.
In developmentLunar data relay satellites (Near Space Network)
Planned Moon-orbiting satellites relaying data to Earth
- In development
Blue Ring
Spacecraft that carries and deploys other companies' payloads
In development
Helios
Upper stage that pushes heavy satellites to high orbits fast
In development
Elytra
Space tug that moves payloads to their final orbit
384,400 km from Earth
The Moon
The Moon is a three-day trip. Landers are the first commercial product, and the prize is helium-3 for quantum computers and water ice for rocket fuel.
- In development
Helium-3 Harvester
Machine to harvest helium-3 from Moon dirt
- In service
Nova-C lunar lander
Robotic lander that delivers payloads to the Moon
- In service
Blue Ghost
Robotic lander that delivers payloads to the Moon
TestingGriffin lander
Large lander that carries cargo and rovers to the Moon
55–400 million km
Mars
Mars is months away. Missions so far are science and communications relays, and most plans for cargo and people depend on Starship.
In development
SkyFall Mars helicopters
Three Mars helicopters that drop in and scout for ice

Mastcam-Z
Zoomable 3D color cameras on NASA's Perseverance Mars rover
Malin Space Science SystemsIn service Context Camera (CTX)
Mars orbiter camera that maps wide strips of the surface
Beyond Mars
Deep space
Probes bound for asteroids and the outer planets, and the engines meant to get them there faster. A few startups plan to mine asteroids for metals and water.
