## What the Space Score is

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.

## Comparison

- This is the first weekly edition under methodology v8, so there is no earlier edition to compare with. Movement is measured against the earliest daily reading under the same methodology, taken Nov 3, 2026. That is 6 days, not a calendar week.
- 105 ranked; 104 compared: 30 rose, 71 fell, 3 unchanged.
