CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., March 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Equity-Insider.com News Commentary — Microgravity research just crossed $4 billion[1] while commercial satellite launches accelerate at 15% annually[2] and the convergence is pulling defense contractors into orbit faster than most investors realize. Starfighters Space (NYSE-A: FJET), AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ: ASTS), Parsons (NYSE: PSN), L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX), and BWX Technologies (NYSE: BWXT) represent five different angles on the same bet: that space infrastructure is becoming as strategic as submarine hulls and missile systems. The US Space Force budget tells the rest of the story, with $40 billion this fiscal year[3], representing more than double what it started with five years ago, and that money isn't going to PowerPoint presentations.
