TechCrunch·June 11, 2026

Quantum Space is pursuing a $1.2 billion deal through a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) to develop military spacecraft. The company aims to capitalize on the growing demand for space technology and follow in the footsteps of SpaceX, which has achieved significant success in the industry. Quantum Space's move is seen as a test of the viability of SPACs in the current market. Despite recent declines in SPAC activity, Quantum Space believes the model can still be effective for space-related ventures.
