The research team and methodology behind the world's most comprehensive space industry intelligence platform.
Hadamard LLC is a technology research and intelligence company founded with a singular mission: to make complex, rapidly evolving technology markets accessible and transparent for professionals, investors, and researchers worldwide. We recognized early that emerging technology sectors like quantum computing, space technology, and high-performance computing were becoming increasingly difficult to navigate without dedicated, expert-curated resources.
Since our founding in 2018 with Quantum Zeitgeist, we have expanded to operate multiple specialized industry databases and publications. Each platform in our portfolio is designed to serve the specific needs of its sector while maintaining consistent standards for accuracy, comprehensiveness, and editorial integrity. Our team operates remotely across multiple time zones, enabling continuous monitoring of global industry developments and ensuring timely updates to our platforms.
New Space Tracker represents our commitment to the commercial space sector, tracking over 1752 organizations across 76 countries to provide the most comprehensive view of the global space industry ecosystem available.

Editorial expertise
New Space Tracker employs a data-driven methodology that combines automated monitoring with expert human analysis. Our systems continuously scan thousands of sources for relevant industry developments, from SEC filings and patent applications to press releases and social media announcements. This comprehensive monitoring ensures no significant company or development escapes our attention.
We maintain our database through regular, scheduled updates supplemented by real-time additions when significant events occur. Stock prices and market data for public companies are refreshed daily. Company profiles undergo comprehensive review quarterly, with additional updates triggered by major events such as funding rounds, acquisitions, leadership changes, or significant contract awards.
Our commitment is to balance breadth with depth. While we track over 1752 organizations to provide comprehensive industry coverage, we invest additional resources in detailed profiles for key industry players, public companies, and organizations of particular significance to the space ecosystem. This tiered approach ensures users can both discover new companies and access detailed intelligence on major players.
We actively encourage contributions from the space industry community. Company representatives may submit new listings, corrections, or updates to existing profiles through our contact page. All submissions undergo our standard verification process before publication, ensuring the accuracy of our database while enabling companies to ensure their profiles reflect current information.
Our typical response time for submitted updates is 48-72 hours. Straightforward corrections to factual information (founding dates, locations, website URLs) are generally processed within one business day. More substantial updates, such as new company descriptions or category assignments, may require additional verification and review.
