Space Score Top 25

Methodology

• •The Space Score is a 0–1000 composite computed daily from SpaceNexus data across five pillars: Scale (30%), Government space demand (20%), Capital access (15%), Momentum (15%) and Flight record (20%). Every metric, formula, window and source is published on the methodology page, with a per-company breakdown.
• •Each metric is a percentile rank among the tracked companies that have a value for it, so the score measures relative standing on evidence we hold, not management quality, and not a forecast.
• •A pillar that does not fit a business (a flight record for a company that does not launch) is dropped and the weights re-normalised. A pillar that applies but has no data counts at the roster median for that pillar (the middle measured company), so a gap scores a company like a typical measured one; a company with no measured pillar gets no score. Companies with too little data are scored but not ranked, and every row carries a confidence label.
• •This table ranks the top 25 ranked companies by total score. Companies with the same total share a rank, shown as =8, and a tie at 25th place keeps every tied company. Within a tie, rows are listed by data coverage, then company name (A–Z), so the order is reproducible; that listing order is not a ranking.
• •Small differences in total are within the uncertainty of the inputs, so read neighbouring ranks as close rather than as a strict order. Each row shows how many of the inputs that apply to the company we actually measured.
• •Editions are quarterly and dated by when the inputs were measured. The current quarter updates daily and freezes when the quarter ends. Rank movement is shown only against a previous edition computed under the same methodology version; the hand-set table retired on 2026-09-23 is never compared against.
• •This is not investment advice. The Space Score is a descriptive composite, not a forecast or a recommendation.

Inputs measured 2026-10-29 (UTC). Methodology version 6. The Data column is the confidence label, the share of the company’s applicable pillar weight backed by data, and how many of the inputs that apply to the company we measured. A rank shown as =8 is shared by companies with the same total.

A line such as “likely between 9 and 15” under a rank is where the company likely ranks given the pillars we have not measured for it: each such pillar filled at the 10th, then the 90th, percentile of the companies we did measure, with every other company held at its published total. No range means every applicable pillar is measured or the gaps could not move the rank. It is shown for the current edition only and never changes a score or a rank. How the range is computed.

Every metric, formula, weight and source, and each company’s pillar values and missing inputs, are on the Space Score methodology page.
