Each week we bring you a curated look at the biggest moves in SpaceTech – from funding and M&A to market trends, contracts, and a quick stock snapshot.

“Big capital and government contracts continued to flow into space this week. K2 Space’s $250M raise at a $3B valuation and ICEYE’s €150M round highlight strong investor conviction in satellite infrastructure and sovereign intelligence. Defense and government demand stayed firm with Voyager’s $21M USAF contract, Rocket Lab’s CSA-backed hardware development, and Avio’s planned $500M U.S. rocket motor facility. On the operations side, SpaceX pushed launch cadence higher, Europe prepared another Galileo deployment on Ariane 6 and NASA’s loss of contact with MAVEN served as a reminder of the technical risk that still underpins deep-space missions.” - Commentary by Matej Pretković
