Abstract
This paper examines the satellite industry and its subsectors as one of the key commodities transported on the sixth mode of transportation. This industry has a significant role in the commercial aerospace industry. We review the trends of the industry in the 21st century and provide a model for estimating the future economic state of the global satellite industry.
期刊介绍:
There is an increasing demand for transportation solutions that are responsive, safe, sustainable, smart and cost-efficient. This has resulted in increased emphasis on responsive intermodal transportation systems. WRITR provides an international forum for the critical evaluation and dissemination of research and development in all areas related to intermodal transportation. Research disseminated via WRITR has significant impact on both theory and practice, and is of value to academics, practitioners and policy makers in this field. Topics covered include: -International trade and transportation -Infrastructure, network design and optimisation -Design, planning and control of transportation systems -Intermodal, intelligent and sustainable transportation solutions -Transportation modes (air, rail, road, sea, pipe) -Transportation cost/benefit analysis -Railroad, terminal and port development -Port/terminal operations and management -Warehousing and inventory management -Transportation regulations, standards and security -Environmental impact, liability and insurance -Risk analysis and management -Information technology and decision support systems -Strategic alliances and relationship management -Government involvement and incentives
