Why it matters: The news comes in as SpaceX is already positioning itself as a leader in the sector. The company recently carried out the launch of the 9th batch of proliferated NRO spy satellites with the Falcon 9 rocket for the U.S. government.

SpaceX is also gearing up for a lunar mission with Intuitive Machines Inc.'s (NASDAQ:LUNR) fourth lunar mission set to launch in 2027. SpaceX also continues to boast the strongest low Earth orbit satellite constellation for Starlink, with upwards of 7000 satellites currently helping the company operate in more than 100 countries.

Elsewhere, other space companies are also developing their technology, with Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) founder Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin having created history by successfully launching the New Shepard rocket with an all-women space crew which included the likes of pop star Katy Perry.
