@endless_frank +$1B from J-LEO + $1.2B pipeline of non-dilutive quasi-gov financing available in 2027! Hopefully atleast hold off raises until more favorable market conditions.
@thekookreport I would also expect some revenues from within the JV to be funneled back to AST as a means of continued investment in the RAST constellation!
@peterlindmark@CatSE___ApeX___ I took that as a clue as well, but I hope we get some tangible evidence of it on Monday! As much as I want that to be true, I find it hard to believe we’ve been waiting on a SpaceX slot since our last launch on Aug 5.
@Steved24661 My thought is they are going this route because they now have much more concrete foresight into the future of the constellation past the original 248, ie gov/ sovereign shells. Hoping there is more news attached to this in the coming days!
@Steved24661 I'm 100% in agreeance with your Ligado comparison, might be another genius move in hindsight. Time will tell! Not sure I agree with the market reacting positively considering other space names are up more than double AST, and we are SSR after yesterdays beatdown.
I will end this thread with the 🚨BREAKING NEWS 🚨That $ASTS has notified the FCC of starting SCS operations in Japan.
These were supposed to be attached to an earlier tweet but x forgot about them.
Note that they got a permit from Japan to operate.

@spacanpanman What other costs will come along with this, such as engineering, launch pad, and additional operating costs? Going to be extremely expensive, but maybe worth while considering their projected launch costs?
