Redwire (NYSE:RDW) and Kratos (NASDAQ:KTOS) are not competing to launch rockets. They are building the systems that make spacecraft functional after launch. As satellite deployments accelerate, these hidden bottlenecks could become increasingly valuable, but one company’s wider exposure and emerging microgravity strategy may create a more compelling long-term opportunity.
