Let's talk about $PL and $BKSY When I am doing my research into the Physical AI theme, one layer that I am very interested in is data. If we are going to deploy AI in a meaningful way that will influence the physical environment, then these models need to UNDERSTAND the physical environment How do they do that? That data can come from cameras, LiDAR, radar, robots, sensors, drones, satellites, or human feedback. PL and BKSY sit in the satellite / geospatial version of that stack. $PL is the broader physical-world data platform. They are collecting Earth observation data that can help AI systems understand crops, forests, water, infrastructure, energy assets, defense activity, climate risk, maritime activity, and changes across the planet. $BKSY is the more tactical version. They are focused on real-time geospatial intelligence, defense, ISR, satellite tasking, and AI-enhanced monitoring of important locations, assets, and events. ISR = intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. Both fit the Physical AI theme through the same basic idea. If AI is going to understand the physical world, it needs fresh, structured, machine-readable data about the physical world. These pullbacks might be attractive...

$ASTS: Stick around, the ticker matters here. Back when execution algos were trader-driven, we controlled the variables: participation rate, order type, liquidity flags, VWAP/TWAP logic, sizing, timing, visibility, etc... Every block was monitored in real time and adjusted based on tape action, liquidity and macro conditions. Today, most execution flows are fully automated and optimized for one thing: speed. Not business quality. Not long-term value. Just statistical edge and microsecond priority over competing algos. That shift created massive volatility across the market. A good example came last week with $RDW and $BKSY. Both sold off hard immediately after earnings, only to bounce back hard the following day. Why? Because many models are trained to react to consensus deviations instantly. Miss = sell. Beat = buy. The objective is to capture the first move before slower participants can respond. Same dynamic applies to ATM announcements and other headline driven events. The weakness is obvious: the algo understands the print, not the company. It does not understand backlog quality, execution cadence, long-term contracts, industry positioning, or whether the miss is even materially relevant to the thesis. That disconnect creates opportunity for investors who actually know the underlying business. Which brings us back to AST SpaceMobile. Following today’s miss, automated flows hit the stock aggressively. From my perspective, it's clearly de-risking rather than fundamental repricing. Especially considering the solid earnings call. In a sector with strong momentum and improving institutional attention, these events can become attractive entry points once the market realizes the core story remains intact. Would not be surprised to see buyers step back in over the next few days as the broader market digests the call beyond the headline numbers.

Historically, Earth observation (EO) smallsats have relied on X-band radios to downlink the pictures they take to ground stations, and S-band or UHF for basic telemetry and commanding (TT&C). By equipping the Pelican-7 satellite with Ka-Band and C-Band antennas, $PL is fundamentally changing the satellite's data pipe. • Ka-Band (High Frequency, High Bandwidth): Ka-band operates at a much higher frequency than X-band. In radio communications, higher frequencies allow for significantly wider bandwidths, which translates to much faster data transfer rates. The technical impact: Pelican satellites are designed to take very high-resolution imagery (up to 30cm). High-resolution images result in massive file sizes. Ka-band allows Planet to download gigabytes of imagery to a ground station in a fraction of the time it would take using legacy systems. • C-Band: While lower frequency than Ka-band, C-band is highly resistant to "rain fade" (signal degradation due to weather). It provides a highly reliable, robust channel for commanding the satellite, ensuring that tasking orders (telling the satellite where to look) are received instantly and reliably, regardless of weather conditions over the ground station. In the defense, intelligence, and financial sectors, an image is only valuable if you get it quickly. $BKSY has historically held a strong edge in latency, heavily marketing their ability to task a satellite and deliver an image in under 90 minutes. Planet's upgrade to Ka-band directly targets this. By downloading massive images faster, Planet can significantly reduce the time between when an image is snapped and when it appears on a customer's screen.

$RKLB | The UAE’s @space42ai isn’t just looking to build Equatys, their direct-to-device constellation with @viasat, they’re also trying to move forward with an Earth observation constellation. This is all the more relevant with recent fighting seen in the region. Space42 already uses SAR satellites obtained through a Finnish company, but would like to expand into electro-optical (EO) sensing, and perhaps other payloads too. Rumors have recently indicated that $RKLB may be asked to build some or all of the 2,800 satellite buses planned for the Equatys constellation. Simultaneously (but unrelated), retail investors have suggested $RKLB could use its $1B ATM offering to purchase $BKSY, an electro-optical satellite imagery company. $RKLB also has the capability to build its own EO/IR payloads (and more) in-house after acquiring Geost last year. It would seem that $RKLB may be the ideal partner for Space42 & $VSAT on these two different initiatives. In regard to the Equatys buildout, Space42 & Viasat said they were “open to bringing others onboard,” and that “the agreement to bring on a third strategic partner is in the final stages of contract finalization.” Who could it be? Also, this: “Space42 alone plans to put about $600 million into Equatys, with the goal of starting to launch satellites in 2028 and being operational either late that year or early 2029. The team is looking to secure launch capacity for what could evolve into a 2,800-satellite constellation.” 👀 https://t.co/2IGggss6CH

I don’t hate the idea of $RKLB acquiring $BKSY, but not a fan either. If we're playing that game and looking for a public market target, $VOYG would stand out. Cheaper valuation and bigger upside. Many synergies. Less competition. Starlab, propulsion & energetics, plus early positioning in lunar infrastructure… Very mispriced at 1.5B market cap.

Should $RKLB acquire $BKSY? 🤔 As @spacanpanman puts it: “IMHO I think $RKLB should just buy $BKSY if they're looking to expand into attractive space vertical that leverages their capabilities = Earth Observation. $RKLB already launches $BKSY sats and it would be a highly accretive transaction🤷‍♂️” $BKSY market cap currently ~$960M and $RKLB just raised $1B… 👀 I’m actually very much in favor of this.
