Week in Space Data, every Friday.
SpaceNexus Intelligence
In-depth research reports on the space industry (market sizing, company landscapes, investment trends, and regulatory developments), plus every weekly brief the platform has published, newest first.
Named releases on a fixed calendar, every figure computed from SpaceNexus data rather than written. Each edition is dated, permanently linkable, and states its method and its coverage limits beside the numbers. Where an edition has missed its date, this table says so. The full hub, with what each release computes and how to read it, is at /releases.

Rocket Lab's August 10 investor update paired record Q2 revenue of $234M (up 62% YoY) and a record $2.36B backlog with the June agreement to acquire Iridium for $54/share, roughly $8B in enterprise value, expected to close mid-2027. Shares still fell as Q3 margin guidance reflected peak Neutron first-flight spending; the rocket remains on track for pad delivery in Q4 2026.
