SpaceX to join Nasdaq 100 index alongside consecutive orbital launches

SpaceX is scheduled to join the Nasdaq 100 index on the 7th of the month, according to financial reports. The inclusion of the American aerospace manufacturer and space transportation company marks a significant shift in its financial integration and is expected to prompt a substantial influx of passive investment capital.

The financial development follows a period of high-frequency launch operations for the firm. On 29 June 2026, the company launched the SiriusXM SXM-11 satellite aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The mission's first stage, identified as Booster B1085, successfully completed its 17th flight before landing on the company's autonomous droneship, "A Shortfall of Gravitas".

This launch occurred just one day after a separate orbital mission. On 28 June 2026, a Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, deploying 24 Starlink satellites into orbit. The payload, designated Group 17-40, was launched to expand the company's broadband internet relay network.

The Vandenberg mission similarly utilised a heavily reused launch vehicle. Its first stage, Booster 1088, also completed its 17th flight, returning to land on the droneship "Of Course I Still Love You". Prior to these weekend launches, operations personnel conducted a routine static fire test on 26 June.

The impending addition to the Nasdaq 100, which tracks the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq stock market, reflects the ongoing expansion of the firm's commercial satellite deployment and internet infrastructure network.
