Stoke Space raised $1B in a Series E, bringing total funding to $2.3B. The company also unveiled Nova Block 2, a fully reusable rocket designed to carry 15 tonnes to low Earth orbit, with flights planned from 2029.

Four European telecom operators are weighing a joint spectrum bid. Bloomberg reports that Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Vodafone and Telefónica are considering bidding together for the 2 GHz band, a range of radio frequencies the EU would reserve for a European operator.

Blue Origin broke ground on an $80M payload processing facility at Cape Canaveral. The facility is designed to prepare payloads for 16 missions a year.

Ask your agent about Mach33 research

The Mach33 MCP is open to our Premium and Pro subs, and it wires the research archive straight into Grok, Claude, and the other models you already work in. Stop digging through the site for a number. Just ask your agent something like:

"Which Mach33 models price launch through 2040?" or "What does Mach33 data say about SpaceX share of mass to orbit?" or "Has Mach33 covered Stoke Space?"

Brief: 70 Years of Launch
StarlinkSpaceXLaunch

The launch market is the business of flying payloads for paying customers. A satellite operator or a government buys a ride to orbit from a launch provider. That market flew a record 347 tonnes in 2025, and it was 12.9% of all mass to orbit, down from 59% in 2015, because SpaceX now flies far more of its own Starlink satellites than the whole market flies for everyone. Mach33 rebuilt every orbital launch since Sputnik, 7,117 launches and 27,537 payloads, to measure it. The market is still growing, on pace for 446 tonnes in 2026.
