BryceTech

BryceTech is an Alexandria, Virginia-based space industry research and consulting firm founded in 2013, best known as the producer of the Space Surveillance Network (SSIR) annual satellite industry reports in partnership with the Satellite Industry Association (SIA), as well as authoritative workforce analyses, launch market reports, and policy research for government and commercial clients.

BryceTech's Smallsat by the Numbers and Start-Up Space reports have become the canonical annual data sources for commercial small satellite market sizing, launch industry trends, and startup investment activity — cited by investors, journalists, Congressional staff, and industry analysts worldwide as baseline market data.

The SSIR (State of the Satellite Industry Report), produced jointly with SIA, provides comprehensive annual statistics on global commercial satellite revenues across telecommunications, EO, satellite services, and ground equipment segments — the reference document for anyone assessing the overall satellite industry's financial health. BryceTech's consulting work supports government clients including NASA, the U.S. Space Force, FAA, NOAA, and Congressional appropriations committees with market analysis, policy option assessments, and technology forecasting for space industry regulatory and programmatic decisions.

The firm was founded by Carissa Christensen, a long-time space industry analyst and advisor, and reflects the concentrated professional services ecosystem around Washington DC's government space market. BryceTech competes with Novaspace (formerly Euroconsult), Quilty Analytics, NSR (Northern Sky Research), and Forecast International in the space market research and consulting sector, but occupies a distinctive niche through its SIA partnership and its focus on government advisory work that requires deep familiarity with U.S. space policy and acquisition processes.
