Shares of Globalstar (GSAT) surged 5.05% in pre-market trading on Monday, outperforming the broader market as investors reacted to the successful lunar landing of a private space company's lander.

On Sunday, Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost lander achieved a historic milestone by softly touching down on the Moon's surface in an upright, stable configuration. This achievement marks a significant step forward for private space exploration and has renewed investor interest in the space industry.

While Globalstar is primarily focused on satellite communications, the company's stock could benefit from the positive sentiment surrounding the space industry. The successful lunar landing by a private company like Firefly Aerospace highlights the growing potential for commercial space activities, which could lead to increased investment and opportunities in related fields such as satellite technology and communications.
