Low Earth Orbit (LEO) applications have the potential to create vertical markets in several areas, including:

1. Earth observation and remote sensing: Satellites in LEO can capture high-resolution images and data of the Earth’s surface, which can be used for applications such as crop monitoring, weather forecasting, urban planning, and disaster management.
2. Communication and connectivity: LEO satellites can provide high-speed internet connectivity to remote areas and improve communication networks for industries such as shipping, aviation, and defense.
3. Space tourism: LEO applications can lead to the development of space tourism, offering opportunities for people to experience microgravity and space travel.
4. Scientific research: LEO applications can support scientific research in areas such as astronomy, cosmology, and Earth science.
5. Space exploration: LEO applications can serve as a stepping stone for human space exploration, enabling the development of technologies and capabilities necessary for missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

Overall, the potential vertical markets created by LEO applications are vast and varied, with opportunities for innovation and growth in multiple sectors.

This summer 2023, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket will launch the Polaris Dawn mission

from historic Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Endeavoring to reach the highest Earth orbit ever flown, with a targeted apogee of 1,400 kilometers above Earth, Dragon and the Polaris Dawn crew will spend up to five days in orbit, during which they will attempt the FIRST COMMERCIAL SPACEWALK & some other super cool projects, one is an in-space Communication, The Polaris Dawn crew will be the first crew to test Starlink laser-based communications in space, providing valuable data for future space communications system necessary for missions to the Moon, Mars and beyond! https://polarisprogram.com/dawn/ https://polarisprogram.com/the-first-year-of-polaris-launch-date-update-for-polaris-dawn/

SpaceX‘s Starlink satellite internet service has confirmed that it is using laser satellites

to provide Internet connectivity to several regions and updated its global coverage map. Since opening up its beta service in 2020, Starlink has grown to become one of the fastest internet service providers globally, with consistent speed tests showing that it leads wired broadband internet coverage in download and upload speeds. A key point of interest for Starlink is the laser satellites, which remove some of the dependency that it has on ground stations to complete the connection with internet servers.  https://wccftech.com/starlink-turns-on-laser-satellites-for-region-with-fourth-month-long-night https://www.spacex.com/
