Welcome to the newest edition of SpaceTech Weekly, your go-to source for space news. This recap is for informational purposes only and does not constitute any investment advice.

“BlackSky's seven-figure international deal shows Gen-2 and Gen-3 imagery is turning into real recurring revenue. Redwire's ELSA program with Moog is the same story, get the platform relationship first, and the market's rewarding it: record Q2 revenue of $117.1 million, up 89.6% year over year, with backlog hitting $542.1 million, and the stock climbed 38% this week. Rocket Lab keeps its iQPS cadence going with an eighth launch and a ninth queued for late August, shares up 28% on the week. Firefly's Elytra PDR is early, but it lands off the back of a strong quarter, revenue up 659% year over year, beating estimates. Virgin Galactic is still funding its way toward 2027 while everyone else is shipping, though even SPCE caught a bid this week along with the rest of the sector.” - Commentary by Matej Pretković
