Provisional: the latest data refresh looked incomplete and was held, so these scores use inputs measured 2026-10-10.
Not scored The Space Score is a 0 to 1000 snapshot of a space company's size and activity, relative to the other companies we track. It combines size (headcount, market value and revenue, 30%), U.S. federal space contracts (20%), equity raised (15%), momentum (15%) and, for launch companies, orbital launches (20%), so it leans heavily on size. It is descriptive: not a forecast, a rating or investment advice.
Taken private in 2024. The valuation on file dates from its time as a listed company and no longer describes the business, so it is held out of the ranking until its record is refreshed.
