Intuitive Machines, Inc. (NASDAQ:LUNR) reported second-quarter revenue of $50.31 million on Thursday morning. Total revenue was up 21% year-over-year, driven by growth across key programs.

The company also announced that it signed a purchase agreement to acquire space navigation and flight dynamics software company KinetX. 

"We will continue to remain opportunistic on further strategic M&A, while also evaluating internal investments to accelerate growth and drive long-term shareholder value," said Steve Altemus, CEO of Intuitive Machines.

Rocket Lab – RKLB 

Rocket Lab Corp. will report its second-quarter financial results after Thursday's closing bell. Analysts expect Rocket Lab to report revenue of $134.53 million, up from $106.25 million in last year’s second quarter, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

Rocket Lab has beaten analyst estimates for revenue in four straight quarters and in seven of the past 10 quarters overall.

AST SpaceMobile – ASTS 

AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTS) shares were trading lower on Thursday after Scotiabank analyst Andres Coello maintained a Sector Perform rating on the stock, but lowered the price target from $45.40 to $42.90.

The company is set to report its second-quarter financial results after Monday's closing bell. Analysts expect AST ApaceMobile to report losses of 22 cents per share and revenue of $7.52 million, according to estimates from Benzinga Pro

Virgin Galactic – SPCE

Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:SPCE) reported second-quarter revenue of $406,000 on Wednesday, missing estimates of $540,000.

Total revenue was down from $4.2 million in the prior year's quarter due to a pause in commercial spaceflights to focus efforts on the production of the Delta Class SpaceShips.

The aerospace and space travel company reported a second-quarter loss of $1.47 per share, beating estimates for a loss of $2.22 per share.
