Space and Defense Stocks to Watch: AST SpaceMobile spikes on SHIELD slot as Northrop sets a high

New York, January 18, 2026, 12:56 EST — Market closed.

AST SpaceMobile stock flirts with $100 as Zacks’ “Bear of the Day” clashes with satellite bulls

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 11:56 EST Shares of AST SpaceMobile climbed roughly 4% Thursday, hovering near $99 amid sharply divided opinions on the satellite-to-smartphone firm’s valuation and execution risks. The tug-of-war is crucial now as “direct-to-device” connectivity—satellites linking regular smartphones without cell towers—shifts from demos to early commercial rollout. This shift has pushed what was once a niche telecom gamble into the spotlight for retail investors and telecom executives alike. AST plans to roll out 45 to 60 satellites in 2026, a milestone its supporters believe could transform coverage in rural and remote regions. Skeptics, however, warn this ambitious

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida, Jan 9, 2026, 19:27 EST SpaceX launched 29 Starlink internet satellites into orbit on Friday on a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The first-stage booster landed at sea on the droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas after stage separation, and SpaceX later confirmed the satellites were deployed. https://spaceflightnow.com/2026/01/08/live-coverage-spacex-to-launch-its-falcon-9-rocket-on-midday-starlink-mission-from-cape-canaveral/ The flight came as U.S. regulators moved to widen SpaceX’s room to grow Starlink, its low-Earth-orbit network that beams broadband from a few hundred miles above Earth. The Federal Communications Commission approved SpaceX’s plan to deploy an additional 7,500 second-generation satellites, bringing the authorized total to 15,000, and

SpaceX restarts Starlink launches after satellite mishap — and another Falcon 9 is already queued

SpaceX restarts Starlink launches after satellite mishap — and another Falcon 9 is already queued

Cape Canaveral, Florida, Jan 5, 2026, 20:56 EST SpaceX launched 29 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit early Sunday, resuming deployments after an in-orbit anomaly last month sidelined one of its spacecraft and forced a delay to a planned mission. The launch matters now because Starlink, SpaceX’s satellite broadband network, relies on a steady cadence of Falcon 9 flights to expand coverage and replace aging satellites. The December incident also sharpened attention on space debris as traffic builds a few hundred kilometres above Earth. Starlink already has more than 9,300 satellites in orbit, according to tracking statistics cited by Spaceflight

Iran says Russia launched three new satellites, deepening Moscow-Tehran space ties

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 21:50 ET Iran said on Sunday three of its satellites were launched into low Earth orbit from Russia, extending space cooperation between Tehran and Moscow. Reuters+1 Iranian state media said a Russian Soyuz rocket carried the Paya, Zafar-2 and Kowsar satellites from the Vostochny Cosmodrome in Russia’s far east. Bloomberg.com+1 The launch matters because Iran has increasingly relied on Russia to place satellites in orbit while both countries remain under U.S. sanctions and have drawn closer since Russia’s war in Ukraine.
