BlueBirds 8, 9, and 10 are now fully deployed to their full size, each the world's largest communications arrays operating in Low Earth Orbit.
We invented a new way to design, manufacture at scale, deploy, and fly lightweight composite stackable architecture combined, with the world's largest and most advanced direct- to-device and radar phased-array with the ability to launch them in groups of 3, 5, 6, or 8 on a single launch.
Our BlueBird platform brings together high-performance space-based cellular broadband with peak data rates approaching 200 Mbps, space AI edge computing, and many mission-critical government applications, all on one platform where the largest-ever size matters!
BlueBirds 11, 12 and 13 are already at the Cape preparing for their imminent launch. BlueBirds 14, 15 and 16 are right behind them. Production has already moved through satellite 42.
All of this is happening in Texas. ๐ค ๐บ๐ธ๐ถ๐๐ฑ
BlueBirds 9 and 10 are now successfully deployed in orbit.
Two more of the world's largest commercial communications arrays have joined our growing constellation. Another step closer to the future of cellular broadband from space.
With BlueBirds 11, 12, and 13 at Cape Canaveral preparing for their imminent launch, and production advancing through spacecraft 41, we continue to execute at scale.

Built Differently.
Engineering at scale unfolded in orbit.
This is cellular broadband from space.
BlueBird 10 has successfully deployed in low Earth orbit. Adding another of the world's largest communications array - the size of a tennis court - to our growing constellation.
BlueBirds 8 and 9 are next.

Between the doubling of spectral efficiency, Sambar / T-Mobile / Grain, J-LEO, and Golden Domeโฆ.there has likely never been a point in time where so much material company-making information has been so readily available through โalt-sourcesโ eg, not yet officially 8kโs. The alpha capture is off the charts.
The pressure is building.

Have you ever had a moment of absolute clarity where you can see the future and all the puzzle pieces falling exactly into place?
Thatโs how I feel about $ASTS today
$ASTS: ๐จWant another sign T-Mobile will be working with AST SpaceMobile? ASTโs biggest advocate at AT&T just joined T-Mobile ๐คฏ

250 Years. One Relentless Spirit of Innovation
Now extending it beyond Earth
For two and a half centuries, America has been a place where bold ideas take flight.
We are proud to continue the tradition - building what has never been built before: the worldโs first space-based cellular broadband network to connect directly to everyday smartphones.
Together, we are working to build a more connected America, and a more connected world.ย ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐บ๐ฒ
Built in Texas. Broadband from space. A market we invented.

@ToadSomm Think we went like 3-4 days without any new data right before the unfurl last time. Noticed we havenโt had anything for a couple days now again. ๐ค
@tottaway22 Dude literally described himself as a โrenownedโ expert. People who are actually good at their job donโt have to tell you how great they are.
Let me be very clearโฆ. $GSAT $IRDM $VSAT are better dead than alive
Yes I (& other investors) totallly missed re-rating value. Good for those that saw it. But donโt mislead yourself into thinking their execs are genius. They arenโt. $ASTS enabled their returns & kicked it off with Ligado.
A crystal clear example is $IRDM had an offer to buy AST under $1b in 2021 & denied it as D2C was impossible & not worth it during CAPEX Holiday. Thatโs not forward thinking management, thatโs blindness.
They are not geniuses & got bailed out (made a ton of money so great for them) due to the value of the D2C market that AST invented.
All the interviews this week talk about value of spectrum. Well Iridium has 8.7mhz of TDD L band for $8b, $GSAT has 11mhz for $11b, SpaceX has 65mhz S for $20b
$ASTS 9 months prior locked down 45mhz L-Band for $2b NPV. Should that not be talked about, that itโs a master stroke?
Wait until AST/SatCo/RAST start getting S band allocation for free (oh did Brazil just do that with 20mhz?)
JLO quite literally wrote the book on it, recommend reading! @Steved24661 gf

This season, we celebrate the legendary past and exciting future of Memorial Stadium.
$SPACE: A common refrain I've heard from short sellers, skeptics, space consultants and legacy players is that XYZ space investors are absolutely delusional.
You know what, they're absolutely right. We are 100% delusional. Can you imagine holding $ASTS for almost 6 years through a constant barrage of FUD and the stock price getting shorted down to < $2? And then being delusional enough to keep buying all the way down AND THEN continuing to hold and buying on the way up?
You know who else is delusional? Abel Avellan. This mfer created the direct-to-cellular satellite broadband category in 2017 against all the haters, naysayers and legacy clowns who said it was impossible. At the low point AST SpaceMobile was worth $700M with only $100M in the bank. Throughout the lowest lows AND highest highs, Abel has never sold a single share all these years. This guy must be insane?!?
It takes a special kind of crazy to be a founder like Abel and it takes a special kind of crazy to have the conviction, fortitude and patience to be invested alongside him.
Let's tip the hat to these deluded strategic investors as well: AT&T, Verizon, Google, Rakuten, Saudi Telecom, Bell Canada, Telus and American Tower
Delusional? Crazy? Insane?
Yes that's us.

We'reย not rebuilding the same pad for New Glenn.ย We're moving toย a horizontal/vertical hybrid configurationย to get us flying again this year at 36A. ย We were already working on something similar for 9x4 at 36B. Let me explain what that means. We mate the stages horizontally in the Integration Facilityย (IF). Then we bring the integrated vehicle out to the pad, use a crane to perform the vertical breakover, and mate the payload once New Glennย is vertical. This new ConOps has the added benefit of increasing our flight cadence as well.
