A milestone worth lighting up New York City.ππππππππππ
BlueBirds 8, 9, and 10, the largest commercial communications arrays ever in LEO, are now successfully orbiting Earth.

SpaceX just helped $ASTS launch 3 BlueBirds.
Of course, it wasnβt charity. But they had every incentive not to, especially after the Blue Origin setback, which was a huge blow for ASTS.
Long term, SpaceX will probably lose far more from ASTS building a real space constellation and becoming a formidable competitor than they earned from this launch service.
This is like the hundredth example of Elon helping competition instead of trying to destroy it.
Very rare. Very special.
$SPCX successfully launched and deployed $ASTS BlueBird 8, 9 and 10 into orbit without issue.
Three more of the largest phased-array satellites ever deployed in LEO are now on their way to expanding AST SpaceMobileβs constellation.
Successful launch!ππππππππππ
All satellites were captured within minutes and already orbiting Earth with all systems nominal.
Congratulations to the incredible AST SpaceMobile team! 250Y U.S.A. ππΆ π€
