Space Index

We would like to introduce the Space Foundation’s Space Index, which will track the performance of the space industry in the U.S. public equity markets.

Leading advancers during this time period included Garmin, SiRF Technology Holdings, Orbital Sciences, and EMS Technologies, while leading decliners included XM Satellite Radio, WorldSpace, and Motient.
