$Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ $AST SpaceMobile, Inc.(ASTS)$  🚀🛰️💼 $RKLB Acquiring Mynaric AG for $150M: The Laser Link Gamechanger 💼🛰️🚀

I’m calling it: this is Rocket Lab’s most pivotal move yet. On 25Sep25, Rocket Lab filed an 8-K confirming a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire all outstanding shares of Mynaric AG in a deal worth up to $150M. The structure includes $75M cash/stock at closing, plus an earnout of up to $75M tied to revenue milestones for 2025, 2026, and 2027.

🛰️ Why Mynaric matters:

Mynaric builds optical communications terminals (OCTs) that enable direct satellite-to-satellite laser links. This eliminates sole reliance on ground stations and allows for:

• 📡 Ultra-fast broadband data transfers

• 🛡️ Secure military & defense networks

• 🌍 Global space-based internet coverage

• 🚀 More efficient low Earth orbit (LEO) constellations

This is the missing piece in Rocket Lab’s end-to-end ecosystem. Until now, $RKLB has delivered:

• Orbital launch services (Electron, Neutron)

• Satellite design & manufacturing

• Full constellation integration

Now, with Mynaric, Rocket Lab can launch, build, and interconnect satellites; mirroring the integrated strategy that made SpaceX’s Starlink dominant.

💼 Competitive edge:

This deal positions Rocket Lab alongside SpaceX, Lockheed, Northrop, and Airbus, with enhanced access to NATO, US Space Force, and EU defense contracts. It gives $RKLB credibility as a turnkey constellation provider at a time when demand for secure, sovereign orbital networks is accelerating.

📊 Market setup:

Shares closed 25Sep25 at $46.63 (-4.23%) before bouncing to $47.11 overnight (+1.03%). Keltner and Bollinger compression (see charts) suggests a volatility expansion is building, with $52 resistance and $44 support as key levels. Historically, $RKLB breakouts from similar consolidations delivered double-digit moves.

🔥 My take: Rocket Lab is no longer “just” a launch company. By 2027, with Mynaric’s laser comms tech, $RKLB could redefine itself as a fully integrated space infrastructure leader.

👉❓Does this acquisition set Rocket Lab on a trajectory to rival SpaceX in orbital communications dominance by the end of the decade?
