Space Race to Mars and Beyond

For over a decade the United States has relied on Russia to transport American astronauts to the International Space Station. That was until 2020 when Elon Musk's Space Exploration Technologies Corp had successfully flown a crew of astronauts. Now we are seeing an emergence of space companies that are all trying to expand their technology and reduce the immense costs of such missions. Major players aside from SpaceX include Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Virgin Galactic, and Blue Origin which is owned by Amazon Inc., and a crowd of upstarts are eyeing opportunities in the fast-growing sector.

Join Bloomberg for Education as we dive into the space sector. We will analyze the opportunities, market share battles, and chart the performance of major companies. We will use this data to better understand the best performers and laggards in the sector, and discuss common themes we see in the news regarding the future of our aerospace technology.

In this presentation we will:
  • Discover the aerospace sector's best and worst performers
  • Analyze factors that impact the firms' financials
  • Explore the influence of these firms on the global market
  • Examine how to use the Terminal to make aerospace industry forecasts
  • Study the market opportunities across launch technology, satellites and data services, and commercial travel
  • Share a takeaway assignment in which you can practice what you've learned
