The space technology company completed several financing transactions, including full utilization of its $50 million at-the-market program and a previously announced $25 million private placement completed May 28 with two institutional investors. Additionally, warrant holders exercised 1,807,938 warrants, generating more than $9.6 million in gross proceeds, leaving 501,162 warrants outstanding.

Momentus provided details on its Vigoride 7 mission, launched March 30 on SpaceX's Transporter-16 mission carrying 10 payloads to low Earth orbit. The spacecraft executed a controlled descent from approximately 517 kilometers altitude using the company's water-based propulsion system, completing more than 30 engine burns.
The mission includes a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency contract payload called ASTRA, developed by Caltech, which has begun autonomously assembling a truss structure in orbit using robotic arms. Another payload features a titanium pressure tank designed by Momentus and manufactured using Velo3D's 3D printing technology.
The mission includes upcoming operations such as releasing a NASA satellite and conducting proximity operations demonstrations under a SpaceWERX contract.
Momentus announced its Vigoride 8 mission is scheduled for 2027 with two NASA payloads, while capacity remains available on the Vigoride 9 mission.
