To be frank, I still think the small launch vehicle market is bubbling and I just can't see more than 2 US (or US-related) new small rocket LSPs surviving the near term.

So... Rocket Lab.... and...?
My bet is on @RocketLab and @Virgin_Orbit. They are the players with the most advanced (in terms of development history) and the one with the most solid funding available respectively, AFAIK.

What about
@Firefly_Space and@relativityspace? they’ve both signed significant deals and have production hardware to show. -
We just have to see. But there are so many other international LSPs in the run, some being government organizations (ISRO, the Chinese, Russians hitchhiking flights, even European with Vega), plus share rides, that I wonder if the business cases really closes for so many players.

Yah, looks like Virgin Orbital will launch by end of year and has an interesting ecosystem set up. I'm still not sure if the small satellite space will tier out into different spaces under 2000kg to LEO [say under 1500kg, 1000kg, 500kg 250kg
