Appendix E–I: Vendors, Standards and Market Data
Who supplies the programme, which standards apply, and what does the market data say?
Chapter summary
The second appendix block lists the satellite, launch, compute and ground-segment suppliers the programme would draw on, the ECSS, NASA and ISO standards it must meet, and the market data behind the demand case: AI compute, datacentre energy and water use, EU sovereign cloud, and the orbital compute ventures already active.
Key takeaways
- 1
Datacentre electricity use more than doubles, from 415 TWh in 2024 to 945 TWh by 2030 (IEA).
- 2
The EU sovereign cloud market is put at €20–50B by 2030, against €12B of EU public-sector cloud spend in 2024.
- 3
Only two ventures have demonstrated or committed orbital compute: Starcloud (H100 in orbit since November 2025) and Google’s Suncatcher (demonstration in 2027).
