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.
“This week highlights a shift from headline launches to steadier capital and public-private momentum. Europe awards ispace-Europe for MAGPIE lunar robotics, while small-sat demand grows through Rocket Lab’s iQPS launches. In the U.S., Artemis backing underpins Blue Origin’s testing cadence, with funding flowing to K2 Space and Sophia Space/Caltech’s passive, tile-based orbital data centers. China accelerates SSA via Xingchen Daohe. Risks include schedule slippage and data fragmentation.” - Commentary by Matej Pretković
