Encore Technologies (ENCR.CN) on Thursday said it will invest US$1 million in Solstar Space to increase its exposure to a high-growth industry.
Encore, who has entered into a binding term sheet with Solstar, will complete a private placement of shares to raise up to C$1.4 million. The investment is conditional on the financing being completed.
Solstar's Deke Space Communicator is operating on the Momentus Vigoride 7 mission that was launched by SpaceX Falcon 9 last March. Co-passengers on the mission include NASA, DARPA, and a commercial space data center operator, all using the Deke service, a statement said.
The company's shares were last seen unchanged at C$0.30 on the Canadian Securities Exchange.
