I track every space stock - biggest week of 2026, here’s the full breakdown

This week was probably the most eventful in space equities since I started covering the sector. Full breakdown below.

RKLB +34%
Record $200M quarter, up 63% YoY. Four analyst raises in one session. TD Cowen now at $120.

HawkEye 360 (HAWK) IPO
New space stock worth knowing about. RF signals intelligence — detects radio emissions from ships, aircraft and military assets globally. Profitable at IPO, 80% gross margins, $302M backlog. Closed +30% day one.

ASTS
BlueBird 7 fallout ongoing but mid-June Falcon 9 launch confirmed for satellites 8-10. Earnings Monday — most important call in the sector right now.

SpaceX IPO
S-1 expected late May. Every space stock is being repriced around it.

I track 33 space stocks and ETFs — RKLB, ASTS, LUNR, PL, BKSY, RDW, FLY, HAWK, OKLO, SPCE, KRMN, DXYZ and more, on a free live dashboard with broker targets, launch calendar and a weekly deep dive newsletter.

If you want the full deep dive, broker target changes and launch calendar in one place every Sunday, it’s free and takes 10 seconds to sign up. Link below.

Query about Internship

Hi all, I'm a Chemical Engineering major,

I'm looking into applying for an ISRO internship. Wanted to check a few things:

  1. What are the general selection criteria for external students?

  2. How do we approach/contact scientists or apply? Is it through the portal or direct email?

  3. Any idea about the acceptance rate for external candidates?

  4. Is it worth it in terms of research exposure/learning?

For context, I'm from a private institute but have prior research and internship experience in Material Science.

If anyone has done this or knows the process, please share your inputs. Thanks!

Why hasn't ISRO Launched a Cartosat in 7 years?

The last Cartosat to be launched was Cartosat-3 in 2019. Why haven't we launched a Cartosat since then? Given that all Cartosat-2 series satellites were launched upto 2018 and the nominal lifespan of these satellites is 5 years (Though most of them last a decade).

Need guidance for internship

I am a mechanical student from BITS and wanted to know how is the experience at SAC. Is it a good learning experience? Is the internship certificate worth it?

I got an offer for ISRO SAC Intern in Ahmedabad and am contemplating on going.

I currently also have an offer to be a research intern at IIT Mandi. The professor seems nice and I am interested in the field in which he works. If I work properly for 2 months, maybe I'll even get a research paper published.

So I'm confused between the 2.
