Redwire

Redwire has been selected for a $980 million US Space Force program. The announcement highlights the space infrastructure company's growing role in national security space work. Details on the contract's scope remain limited, but the award is seen as a major win for Redwire and has drawn attention from investors and defense-sector watchers tracking Pentagon and Space Force procurement.

Space-related stocks AST SpaceMobile, Rocket Lab, Redwire and EchoStar jumped after SpaceX priced its historic initial public offering. A Cloudflare executive joined the conversation, backing a prediction of a 'perfect' 20% first-day pop for the listing. Traders are treating the IPO as a landmark event that could revalue the entire publicly traded space sector.
