These are Canadair operated in France. Extreme difficult year; Wildfires (often lit by human hands) are poping everywhere. In Europe we also need more super scoopers #PositiveAviation#FF72

They possess cutting-edge technology (proven by all happy MNOs), spectrum (60 MNOs + Ligado), considerable funding. The only question concerns launches. For me, it is solved. And last but not least, they have the support of the Spacemob

I want to frame this post. One of the greatest of the company, because of the perfect execution, and profound confidence in the future it shows. I want Abel to go at all TV News of the world and say that loud and clear.
Abel is Ze Boss. Respect.
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. 🤠🇺🇸📶🌎📱
