SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) Artemis lander trials put focus on moon IPO name
Nasdaq’s main session hadn't started yet as of 09:01 EDT. Regular trading is set for 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET. Pre-market runs 4 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. ET, according to Nasdaq. At 08:47 EDT, Space Exploration Technologies Corp was indicated at $149.47, off $10.91, or 6.8%, from its last close, but still up 10.7% over the $135 IPO price. The Artemis contract isn’t a huge deal for shareholders, but the proof is. NASA’s inspector general said Starship’s lunar plan needs a low-Earth-orbit depot, over 10 tanker launches, and aims for one tanker launch every six days ahead of the crew. Propellant aggregation starts over 200 days before crew launch, according to the report.
