StubHub look out! There actually is a resale market for Rocket Launches ! I did not know that!

Getting your wiz-bang satellite onto a launch vehicle (rocket) is not as simple as calling up SpaceX and arranging a date.

There is a network of rideshare brokers, launch aggregators, or mission management providers who have a LOT of power and control over what and when satellites get launched by the launch providers - aka SpaceX etc.

Satellite operators can get squeezed between direct booking with a launch provider and the brokers. So much so, regulatory bodies (FTC) are beginning to investigate how traditional antitrust laws apply to orbital launch capacity. https://satnews.com/2026/05/31/if-you-thought-space-was-hard-try-to-get-your-satellite-on-a-rocket/ #Satellites #Rockets #LaunchVehicle #RideShare #LaunchBroker #Monopoly #FTC #Regulation #SpaceRegulation #SpaceX #Space #CommercialSpace
