Preliminary U.S. Space Economy Data

BEA has developed a preliminary set of statistics measuring the contributions of space-related industries to the overall U.S. economy.These estimates give business leaders, policymakers, and the public a new tool to analyze the space economy and to inform investment decisions.Preliminary estimates of the U.S. space economy's GDP, gross output, private employment, and private compensation by industry were published in the December 2020 Survey of Current Business.
