A U.S. district court judge on Monday dismissed a lawsuit filed by conservation groups that aimed to overturn a Federal Aviation Administration approval in 2022 of expanded rocket launch operations by Elon Musk's SpaceX beside a national wildlife refuge in South Texas.The organizations had claimed that lighting, noise, construction, and access closures could harm the native wildlife in the Boca Chica area on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. The region is home to animals such as ocelots, and is also a nesting site for the endangered Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles and a shorebird named piping plover.U.S. District Court Judge Carl Nichols found that, in most cases, the FAA followed the legal framework to take a ‘hard look’ at the environmental concerns before permitting the launches.The ruling clears another hurdle for SpaceX, which is looking to ramp up testing of its 400-foot-tall Starship rocket. Musk outlined last week that the company is preparing a bigger version of the rocket, which would be fully reusable next year.Last month, U.S. President Donald Trump further provided a boost to SpaceX and its peers by issuing an <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/space-x-rocket-lab-set-to-benefit-as-trump-eases-rocket-launch-restrictions/chsRIGGRda9">executive order</a> to “eliminate outdated, redundant, or overly restrictive” rules for launch and reentry vehicles.Musk, the billionaire CEO of SpaceX, had previously criticized the Biden-era FAA for “regulatory overreach.” Unlike most of its risk-averse industry peers, SpaceX follows the "fail fast, learn faster" approach, prioritizing learning from its mistakes and quickly moving on to the next test.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about SpaceX peer <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/RKLB">Rocket Lab</a> was in the ‘bullish’ territory at the time of writing.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:720/87;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/RKLB_N_SEPT_15_JPG_c4576cde1f.webp" alt="RKLB’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 11:27 p.m. ET on Sept 15, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="720" height="87"><figcaption>RKLB’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 11:27 p.m. ET on Sept 15, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>The FAA had permitted SpaceX to raise the number of Starship launches in Texas from five per year to 25 earlier this year.

Rocket Lab USA (RKLB) stock slipped 3.9% in extended trading on Monday after the company agreed to an at-the-market equity offering program of up to $750 million.The launch services provider has appointed BofA Securities, Cantor Fitzgerald &amp; Co., and KeyBanc Capital Markets to carry out the sale.Rocket Lab intends to use the proceeds from the offering to fund growth, including potential future acquisitions. It may also use some of the proceeds to fund its acquisition of Mynaric, the German optical communications firm, which Rocket Lab agreed to buy in a deal worth up to $150 million.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/RKLB">Rocket Lab</a> was still in the ‘bullish’ territory at the time of writing.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:792/92;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/RKLB_Sept_15_JPG_5d752a2339.webp" alt="RKLB’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 09:49 p.m. ET on Sept. 15, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="792" height="92"><figcaption>RKLB’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 09:49 p.m. ET on Sept. 15, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Rocket Lab is also terminating its prior atm offering of $500 million, which was announced in March.

SpaceX launched a new Northrop Grumman cargo spacecraft to the International Space Station on Sunday evening.The mission, named NG-23, will deliver science investigations, supplies, and equipment to the ISS, according to NASA. The launch marked the debut mission of the Cygnus XL spacecraft, a larger version of the Cygnus vehicles with a payload of 11,000 pounds.The solar-powered Cygnus XL spacecraft took to the skies on board a Falcon 9 rocket at about 6.11 pm ET from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. This was the first Cygnus mission since August 2024, when NG-21 was launched. Earlier this year, NASA scrapped the NG-22 mission to the ISS after the Cygnus spacecraft was damaged while being transported to the launch site.Among the key objectives of the mission is to send materials to produce semiconductor crystals in space and equipment to develop improvements for cryogenic fuel tanks. The spacecraft will also deliver a specialized UV light system to “prevent the growth of microbe communities that form in water systems” and supplies to make pharmaceutical crystals that could treat cancer and other diseases.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/NOC">Northrup Grumman</a> was in the ‘neutral’ territory at the time of writing.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:803/93;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/NOC_Sept_14_JPG_4d2b76e668.webp" alt="NOC’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 9:35 p.m. ET on Sept. 14, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="803" height="93"><figcaption>NOC’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 9:35 p.m. ET on Sept. 14, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>After the spacecraft arrives near the ISS, the astronauts onboard will use the Canadarm2 robotic arm to grab the Cygnus XL vehicle on Sept. 17, before robotically installing the spacecraft to unload the cargo.The Cygnus XL spacecraft, named S.S.

EchoStar Corp. (SATS) on Monday announced a definitive agreement to divest a major portion of its wireless spectrum assets to Elon Musk’s SpaceX in a strategic transaction valued at approximately $17 billion.&nbsp;The deal includes up to $8.5 billion in cash and a matching amount in SpaceX equity, priced at the time the agreement was finalized. Following the news,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SATS">EchoStar stock</a> traded over 39% higher in Monday’s premarket.&nbsp;The agreement also commits SpaceX to cover around $2 billion in interest payments due on EchoStar's outstanding debt through November 2027. Boost Mobile users, operated under EchoStar’s 5G platform, will soon be able to access SpaceX’s next-generation Starlink Direct to Cell technology through a newly formed commercial partnership between the two companies."This transaction with SpaceX continues our legacy of putting the customer first as it allows for the combination of AWS-4 and H-block spectrum from EchoStar with the rocket launch and satellite capabilities from SpaceX to realize the direct-to-cell vision in a more innovative, economical, and faster way for consumers worldwide,” said President and CEO of EchoStar, Hamid Akhavan.&nbsp;EchoStar views the transaction as a potential resolution to ongoing inquiries from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which had been investigating aspects of the company’s spectrum holdings. Additionally, the company expects the cash proceeds to support both debt reduction efforts and growth plans.“In this next chapter, with exclusive spectrum, SpaceX will develop next-generation Starlink Direct to Cell satellites, which will have a step change in performance and enable us to enhance coverage for customers wherever they are in the world,” said President and COO, SpaceX, Gwynne Shotwell.&nbsp;On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around EchoStar remained in ‘bearish’ territory amid ‘low’ message volume levels.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said on Thursday that the orange color seen on Starship’s body during its re-entry earlier this week was rust from rapid oxidation of metallic test tiles.The Starship’s tenth mission on Tuesday went largely successful as it deployed mock satellites for the first time, and then splashed down into the ocean on Tuesday, ticking key mission goals in a much-awaited win for the company.However, several X users were surprised by the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/SpaceX/status/1961165064666312956">orange coloration</a> of the body and were discussing the possible reasons behind the appearance.“The red color is from some metallic test tiles that oxidized, and the white is from the insulation of areas where we deliberately removed tiles,” Musk <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1961217495383322755">wrote</a> on X.One of the key goals of the mission was to test alternative protective materials for the blazing heat during re-entry. “Worth noting that the heat shield tiles almost entirely stayed attached, so the latest upgrades are looking good!” Musk added.The giant vehicle is designed to replace SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rockets and is the centerpiece of Musk’s ambitions to send humans to Mars, with the goal of carrying NASA astronauts to the Moon by 2027. However, this year, the company has seen several high-profile failures.Earlier this year, the FAA had grounded Starship test flights for nearly two months after back-to-back post-launch explosions caused debris to fall at Caribbean islands and forced dozens of commercial airliners to divert. Another launch in May was partially successful, but in June, Starship exploded during an engine test, which the company described as a “major anomaly.”SpaceX is also facing intense competition from companies like Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, and United Launch Alliance, which are seeking to challenge the company’s dominance in the industry.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits regarding the ULA stakeholders, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin, was in the ‘neutral’ and ‘bullish’ territories, respectively.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/elon-musk-trolls-ula-over-old-doubts-on-space-x-s-reusable-rockets-as-falcon-9-racks-up-wins/chtTev2RdZM">'How Time Flies:' Elon Musk Trolls ULA Over Old Doubts On SpaceX's Reusable Rockets As Falcon 9 Racks Up Wins</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Why Did SpaceX’s Starship Look So Orange After Re-entry? Elon Musk Finally Weighs In

Several X users were surprised by the coloration of the Starship’s body following re-entry and were discussing the possible reasons behind the appearance.

Elon Musk threw shade at a SpaceX rival as the reusable Falcon 9 rocket hit new milestones earlier this week.The billionaire CEO was reacting to a post from a decade ago by SpaceX’s rival, United Launch Alliance, which had questioned the viability of reusable rockets.ULA, a joint venture between aerospace giants Boeing and Lockheed Martin, shared a graphic on Sept. 29, 2015, that demonstrated how its SMART plan, which intended to separate only the engine section of the Vulcan rocket, offered more economic benefits than reusable boosters.“How time flies,” Musk <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1961293232391995801">quipped</a> after having a laugh over the post on X.<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img style="aspect-ratio:2326/2901;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/CQFR_po_XAA_Qncc_D_jpg_92b751f16b.webp" alt="ULA Chart showing the superiority of its SMART technology compared to reusable boosters." width="2326" height="2901"><figcaption>A graphic posted by ULA on Sept. 29, 2015 showing the superiority of its SMART technology compared to reusable boosters. (Photo: ULA/X)</figcaption></figure>This week has been an eventful one for the space industry giant. While its largely successful launch of the 10th Starship mission drew attention, its key Falcon 9 rocket achieved several enviable milestones this week.On Wednesday morning, a <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPACEX">SpaceX</a> rocket <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/spacex-falcon-9-rocket-launches-28-starlink-v2-minis-to-orbit-from-cape-canaveral/chsUGJNRdkw">took off </a>from Cape Canaveral, Florida, for a routine deployment of Starlink satellites. Booster 1096, which sent the satellites towards Earth’s lower orbit, performed its second launch and successfully landed on the Just Read the Instructions drone ship. This launch marked the astonishing 400th drone ship landing, executed by SpaceX.On the very next day, another Falcon 9 rocket launched from the Kennedy Space Center with 28 Starlink satellites. This first stage, Booster 1067, also performed a drone ship landing.The booster had first taken off in June 2021, and on Thursday, it made its 30th flight, marking the first time a Falcon 9 rocket had reached this impressive milestone. Its missions include two flights to the International Space Station with the Crew Dragon vehicle for NASA.In comparison, ULA’s Vulcan Rocket had lagged. By the time it flew its second Vulcan mission this year in June, SpaceX had already launched 73 times. The SMART initiative has not yet been implemented.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/RKLB">Rocket Lab</a>, which has its own partially reusable launch vehicles, was in the ‘bullish’ territory at the time of writing.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/strathcona-resources-plans-to-boost-meg-energy-stake-amid-attempts-to-block-5-7-b-cenovus-deal/chtTEuLRdZo">Strathcona Resources Plans To Boost MEG Energy Stake Amid Attempts To Block $5.7B Cenovus Deal</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
