England, 1643. The universe was still a mystery… and one mind was about to change it forever. Alone, during the plague, Isaac Newton turned silence into discovery. An apple fell before him… but Newton’s eyes went beyond the Earth. What if the force pulling it down was the same force guiding the Moon through the heavens? From that question came the laws that shaped flight, rockets, and our path to the stars #IsaacNewton #Gravity #Space

@SpaceInvestor_D As a pilot, reliable PNT isn’t a luxury—it’s part of the safety chain. A truly global, resilient alternative when GNSS is jammed or spoofed could be transformative for aviation. That’s the strategic value $IRDM brings to $RKLB. ✈️🛰️

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman
At @NASA, it was time to start doing things a bit more like we did in decades past. We are rebuilding the core competencies needed to execute the President's National Space Policy, return Americans to the Moon, build the Moon Base, and prepare for where we go next. Flying great missions and achieving world-changing outcomes always starts with people. Every day, through initiatives like this, your NASA only grows stronger🇺🇸

Welcome NASA’s newest civil servants to join Kennedy! The first phase of employees formerly from the Consolidated Operations, Management, Engineering, and Test (COMET) contract were sworn in on July 13. Their appointment marks an important step in advancing the @NASAAdmin's directive to rebuild and reinforce @NASA's technical core competencies within our civil servant workforce.

As a pilot, this is one of the most important parts of the $RKLB–$IRDM story. GNSS jamming can degrade or remove satellite positioning. Spoofing is even more dangerous: it can make aircraft systems believe a false position is real. Iridium’s new 8×8 mm PNT chip is designed to add a secure reference from its LEO constellation, helping detect when conventional GNSS data cannot be trusted. It doesn’t replace GPS—it adds a resilient backup and verification layer. More than 150 organizations have already requested evaluation hardware. If Rocket Lab’s acquisition closes, it won’t simply be buying satellites. It will enter the business of protecting the navigation and timing infrastructure on which aviation and the modern world depend. Could resilient PNT eventually become standard equipment on commercial aircraft? ✈️🛰️

This is bigger than an 8×8 mm chip. If the Iridium deal closes, $RKLB won’t just gain a constellation—it gains a role in resilient navigation for aircraft, ships, drones and defense. 150+ evaluation requests before broad availability is strong validation. Which market scales first? 🚀

$RKLB / $IRDM: Targeting widespread vulnerabilities in global satellite navigation, Iridium Communications announced the broad commercial availability of its first-to-market Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (PNT ASIC). The commercial push follows an unprecedented pre-order pipeline, with more than 150 international logistics, maritime, unmanned systems, aviation, and defense industrial base organizations requesting evaluation hardware since the module’s initial preview in late October 2025.

@BaramiaNata @TheSpacerr I don’t have many followers either, but I checked your page, the main issue that I can see is that the theme is not so clear, is one of the biggest challenges also for me, but If you improve that I am sure you will do much better, I wish you a happy day Nata

Exactly. Once the Goonhilly deal closes, an IM–L3Harris team could offer Space Force an end-to-end cislunar architecture: $LUNR/Lanteris spacecraft platforms and ground communications, combined with L3Harris sensors, payloads and in-orbit systems. Fewer interfaces, proven heritage and a very competitive bid. This would turn the promised synergies into real contract execution.

@GfXabier A joint proposal between IM and L3Harris to support Space Force’s endeavors in CisLunar space, for example, would be amazing to see and realizes these synergies. IM providing the ground comms (Goonhilly) and L3Harris’ in-orbit assets. They would have a very competitive bid.

There is an interesting relationship between L3Harris and Intuitive Machines. IM provides the satellite buses to L3Harris for SDA Tranches 1, 2 and 3 and L3Harris provides the helium pressure tanks to IM for the Nova-C landers (see link attached). Seeing a supplier / vendor relationship going both ways isn’t overly common. This is one that i have speculations about and will be researching / observing closer. l3harris.com/newsroom/edito…

For us pilots, this is where the logic behind the $RKLB–$IRDM deal becomes tangible. Jamming removes the GPS signal; spoofing is worse—it can make the aircraft trust a false position, affecting the FMS, ADS-B and TAWS. Iridium PNT could provide an independent, trusted cross-check. Certification is key.

@SpaceInvestor_D Very bullish read-through for $RKLB, but precision matters: the $400M goes to Kratos, not Rocket Lab.

$RKLB / $KTOS: Stifel notes today that Kratos securing a massive $400M Department of War award is a massive positive read-through for Rocket Lab. Kratos designs the advanced hypersonic payloads while Rocket Lab’s HASTE flies them. Rocket Lab announced in March that under MACH-TB 2.0 Task Area 1, led by Kratos, they will perform 20 hypersonic test flights with its HASTE launch vehicle over a four-year period. More funding for Kratos hypersonic systems should translate directly into a surge of high-margin launch contracts for Rocket Lab.

$KTOS: Kratos today announced that it has recently received approximately $400 million in funding from the Department of War (DoW) related to certain hypersonic system and other National Security related programs. ir.kratosdefense.com/news-releases/…

Imagine everyone paid too much for toy rockets because they thought the toys would become incredibly valuable. Then the biggest toy SpaceX went on sale, so investors sold the smaller ones to buy it. In simple terms: * Space stocks rose too far, too fast. * SpaceX’s IPO pulled money away from smaller companies. * Many space companies still lose money and need more funding. * Once selling started, traders sold the entire sector like one basket. The companies didn’t all suddenly become worse. This is mainly a valuation reset after excessive excitement and profit-taking.

Important clarification: The $SPCX 20 Starlink V3 satellites deployed on Starship Flight 13 will share Starship’s suborbital trajectory. They’ll test array and antenna deployment, communications and heat-shield imaging before being destroyed on reentry ~20 minutes later. #space #starlink #spacex

@StarryCook I had the chance to seethe deployment from the airplane of Starlink satellites, they looked like high speed bright Stars flying above us. V3 being bigger, just can’t imagine how it would be.

This week, Starship is set to cross a major threshold. For the first time, it will carry and attempt to deploy 20 Starlink V3 satellites in space. Each is designed to autonomously extend its solar arrays and antennas, communicate with ground stations in South Africa, and connect with the wider Starlink constellation via high-capacity laser links. A major step for Starship—from flight-test vehicle to real satellite deployment system. 🚀 #spacex #starlink
