Sept 28 : Satellite maker Astro Digital said on Monday it had agreed to go public through a merger with blank-check company Proem Acquisition Corp I, in a deal valuing the company at about $587 million.
Here are some details:
• Early-stage space companies are increasingly turning to SPAC mergers to tap strong investor demand and secure capital more quickly, as rising government spending and growing demand for satellite constellations fuel growth in the sector.
• The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions. The combined company is expected to trade on the Nasdaq.
