Africa's space industry began to grow, albeit mostly with the help of more developed nations.
Not only is based Virgin galactic in the US, developing a spaceplane that could one day fly between these cities,
Musk also owns Spacex, the firm that stands as the only private company to ever return a spacecraft from low-Earth orbit.
Big players like Spacex and Google are looking at satellite-based internet. Spire is the first to name weather as a major part of its business plan. e are just unwilling to accept that the way people think about the weather is just the way it is said,

Russia existing space industry gives it a significant advantage over most newcomers. In addition to Japan obvious top 3 contenders are countries like South korea, Germany,
and now Richard Branson and Virgin galactic are pursuing microsatellite clusters. Earlier this week the 64-year-old billionaire announced a partnership with satellite-system designers Oneweb to use Virgin galactic's Launcherone rocket to create a massive satellite constellation in space.
The project would deploy a fleet of 648 microsatellites capable of providing low-latency high-speed Internet access directly to small user-based terminals all around the world.
We're excited for the opportunity for Virgin galactic's Launcherone programme to help make it possible through low cost reliable and frequent satellite launches.

investing $1 billion in Spacex's venture. The move is motivated by net neutrality concerns, says Kerri Cahoy, an aerospace engineer at the Massachusetts institute of technology.
"Companies like O3b and Spacex are planning to launch internet satellites with masses of hundreds of kilograms,
That price would even undercut the $50 million sum that private spaceflight company Spacex plans to charge to launch cargo on its two-stage Falcon 9 rocket.
Spacex CEO Elon musk told an audience at the National Press Club in 2011 that private spaceflights would need to follow a model closer to that of airlines.
Spacex plans to make rocket stages reusable but there are drawbacks to that too: While it is possible to recover rocket stages designing bits

Spacex And Boeing Will Take You Ladies and gentlemen we have a winner-well two actually.
And the spoils go to Boeing and Spacex. The companies will sign contracts with NASA to further develop their spacecraft to deliver astronauts to and from the ISS.
while Spacex will receive $2. 6 billion to create an upgraded rendition of its Dragon spacecraft aptly named Dragon Version 2. The original Dragon is currently being used to ferry cargo from Earth to the ISS.
and Spacex will launch the Dragon V2 on its own Falcon 9 v1. 1 rocket. This was not an easy choice NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said at the Sept. 16 announcement
Spacex and Boeing beat out a number of other private companies for the NASA gig including another big contender the Sierra nevada Corp. All three companies had been involved in an earlier phase of the program in

Unlike Spacex which is almost completely vertically integrated Orbital outsources most of its components and focuses on system integration and design.
Meanwhile the competition from Spacex and established companies like Lockheed and Boeing is very strong.
