(Nasdaq: IRDM) ("Iridium" or the "Company"), a leading provider of global voice, data, and PNT satellite services, today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2026. Pending Transaction with Rocket Lab On June 28, 2026, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Rocket Lab Corporation under which Rocket Lab will acquire the Company.
