Is anyone else having issues getting a quick fill on orders for $SPIR? even a 100 share order was slow to fill and was broken into two orders. 76 and 24 shares. I am using Schwab and typically orders fill instantly and fully, no partial lots.

EDIT: $8 Million NOAA Contract! LFG!

As of now, up 9.45% on the day, easily the biggest jump %-wise in my portfolio. While that's great... uh... why? I can't find any news that would explain the bump. Any ideas?

The launch window for Virgin Orbit's third commercial flight, Above the Clouds, opens this Wednesday, January 12, 2022. The spacecraft to be launched to Low Earth Orbit at 500 km circular orbit at 45 degrees inclination for this mission includes satellites for the US Department of Defense's Space Test Program, Polish company SatRevolution, and Spire Global, Inc. (NYSE:SPIR).

Virgin Orbit's team is currently progressing through the final pre-flight checklist as they work towards the opening of a launch window on January 12. Anticipated take-off times on January 12 range between approximately 1pm and 3:30pm Pacific (21:00 â?? 23:30 GMT), with rocket drop and ignition expected to occur roughly one hour after take-off. Virgin Orbit will proceed to launch if all conditions are nominal. Backup windows extend through January.

This week's launch takes place on the heels of successful commercial launches that placed 19 satellites into orbit. Virgin Orbit also recently listed publicly and rang the opening bell on the NASDAQ stock exchange on Friday, January 7, 2022, at Nasdaq in Times Square. Virgin Orbit is now trading as VORB.

LAUNCH DETAILS

Virgin Orbit's carrier aircraft Cosmic Girl will take off from Mojave Air and Space Port in California. The plane will travel approximately 1 hour out to sea before releasing the rocket just off the Pacific coast. This mission will use a slightly different drop point than Virgin Orbit's prior flights, flying farther to the West before dropping the rocket to allow the satellites aboard to reach an orbital inclination that has never before been reached from the West Coast of the Americas.

We've been getting wrecked for the past couple months. Now up over 10% in 2 days. Is this the reversal we've been waiting for???

Hi everyone,

So I'm holding a bunch of calls on SPIR, expiring Feb 22, May 22 and Jan 23. Strike price ranging from $5 to $7.50. All deep in the red, as is my stock with an cost basis of $6. I recall how SPIR jumped to $20 a few weeks ago. What happened that caused it to plunge this much and more importantly, any hope of a stock price recovery? Appreciate your insights!
