A Govini report says U.S. government investments in space and hypersonic technologies from fiscal years 2011 through 2017 reached approximately $83 billion and annual government spending on such platforms rose by 6 percent over the period, SpaceNews reported Sunday.

The report said the Boeing-Lockheed joint venture got 49 percent share of the total launch services market and saw its average per contract obligation value climbed to $23.6 million in 2017, up from $10.1 million in 2011.

Other companies and organizations mentioned in Govini™s Space Platforms & Hypersonic Technologies Taxonomy report include Iridium Communications (Nasdaq: IRDM), General Dynamics (NYSE: GD), Harris (NYSE: HRS), Raytheon (NYSE: RTN), United Technologies Corp.
