| The
following tables list planned and expected payloads due to fly on commercial
launch systems. This is not a real market prediction as it does not take
into account unexpected delays and unannounced new developments. These will
likely have a major influence on the size of the actual launch market. No
assumption has been made on the credibility of the listed satellite projects.
