About The Journal of Space Commerce
The Intelligence Platform for the Space Commerce Supply Chain
The Journal of Space Commerce is the leading intelligence platform for the space commerce supply chain—the upstream and midstream industrial base that designs, builds, launches, and operates space systems. We define the category, build proprietary data and frameworks, and deliver actionable insights for the people who run, fund, and regulate the space industrial ecosystem.
Who Should Subscribe
- Industrial Operators and Supply Chain Leaders:
COOs, VPs of Operations, and supply chain heads who need visibility into bottlenecks, lead times, capacity planning, and risk.
- Space Founders and Strategy Leaders:
Executives at upstream and midstream firms seeking market structure analysis, competitive landscapes, and fundraising narratives.
- Investors and Financial Analysts:
VC/PE firms, infrastructure funds, and analysts requiring market sizing, risk indicators, and valuation inputs.
- Policy and Industrial-Base Stakeholders:
Defense, civil space, and industrial-policy officials who need supply-chain risk assessment and industrial-base visibility.

Component suppliers, ground equipment vendors, and software providers seeking access to buyers and thought leadership channels.
Why We’re Different
The global space economy is approximately $600B, with $180-230B in upstream and midstream industrial activity—yet media explicitly focus on the space commerce as a whole. We own this category by:
- Defining the Space Commerce Supply Chain:
Clear taxonomy and frameworks across the SCOR process (Plan, Source, Make, Deliver, Return, Enable) and value-chain tiers.
- Building Proprietary Data and Indices:
Supplier maps, capacity indices, and risk metrics that don’t exist elsewhere—turning fragmented information into strategic intelligence.
- Delivering Differentiated Content:
Supply chain deep dives, market structure and finance analysis, policy and industrial security coverage, and interviews with operators and suppliers.
What You Get

Why This Matters
The space industrial base faces unprecedented demand. Success depends on understanding bottlenecks in manufacturing and launch logistics, capacity constraints and supplier concentration, market structures that create competitive advantage, and how policy shifts reshape the landscape.
Our Strategy
The Journal of Space Commerce prioritizes depth and ARPU over volume. We serve a concentrated, high-value audience embedded in a ~$200B industrial space supply chain. By turning first-mover status into durable leadership, we are building the indispensable intelligence platform for the space commerce supply chain.
