This promotes informed decision making regarding investments in NewSpace companies.
How does NSG analyze companies?
NSG analysts track nearly 300 for-profit, privately or publicly held companies positioning themselves to profit from growth in the NewSpace sector. For privately-held companies, analysts determine scoring by applying a rigorous 50-question algorithm which explores the management, market, capitalization, and technology (the “NSG 4-Screens”) of that company.
What are the NSG 4-screens?
The NSG 4-screens are used by NSG analysts to rank companies on the NSG 100, NSG RE, and NSG OTB indices. The screens are, in order of importance, Management, Market, Capitalization, and Technology.
What are the NSG 8-verticals?
The NSG 8-verticals are the sub-markets or sub-sectors of NewSpace. Ranked from existing to potential markets, they are Satellites, Launch Vehicle Providers, Space Tourism, Microgravity Research, Space Habitats, Space Debris Removal & Satellite Refueling, Asteroid Mining, and Space Energy.
What are the NSG Indices?
