On September 16, SpaceX rose 3.25% in regular trading, trading at $148.175/share, with turnover of approximately $1.48 billion. The rebound came after an earlier intraday decline, driven by a convergence of multiple positive catalysts.

On the news front, SpaceX announced that its Starship 14th flight mission is targeted for launch on September 22, pending regulatory approval, marking the first attempt at orbital flight. The mission will deploy 26 V3 Starlink satellites, representing the first commercially revenue-generating Starship mission. The 75-minute launch window is set to open at 7:15 AM Central Time. Meanwhile, VietJet Air is reportedly close to signing an aircraft internet service contract with SpaceX, expanding the Starlink aviation connectivity footprint.

Adding to the bullish momentum, the upcoming Nasdaq 100 index rebalancing is expected to lift SpaceX's weight from approximately 1.28% to approximately 2.82%, potentially triggering billions of dollars in passive fund inflows given the roughly $1.7 trillion in assets tracking the index. Separately, the U.S. government's first confirmation of possessing orbital space weapons and accelerated progress on the Golden Dome initiative provided an additional catalyst for the broader space sector.
