Recent Developments and News Updates:

The creation of a new ETF came to be raising stock prices of all major players in the sector that is far to be mature yet. It also highlights the rising demand for space stocks which has been driving the market player today to grab those to get the most out of it in the coming months.

SXM-7, a Maxar radio satellite, has recently been launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on December 12, 2020. The company reported that shortly after the successful launch, the SXM-7 started receiving and sending signals.

SXM-7 will ensure consumers continue to receive SiriusXM’s music entertainment and news services as well as expand the coverage area of that in Canada and the Caribbean for years to come.
