Muon Space is a US satellite maker (founded by ex-SpaceX engineer Jonny Dyer) built on a full-stack Mission Foundry model, with 11 satellites flown and a San Jose plant targeting 500 satellites a year by 2027. It raised a $250M Series C in August 2026 at a $1.5B valuation (Eclipse-led, with Google, Salesforce Ventures, and Woven/Toyota), launched the first three operational FireSat wildfire-detection satellites with Google in July 2026, and debuted a higher-power platform aimed at orbital data centers (pathfinder 2028). Revenue, FireSat economics, and the 500-per-year credibility are open.

Thales Alenia Space is a European satellite prime (a Thales 67% / Leonardo 33% JV) spanning telecom, Earth observation, and exploration, with IRIDE constellation work, ISS and Cygnus/Axiom module heritage, and parentage of the LeoStella JV. It is a party to the European space-merger MoU with Airbus and Leonardo, and the JV structure itself is what that merger would reorganize. Segment financials are program-scoped (a dedicated filings pass owed).
