Our crews have been providing air support on the #IronFire in Utah, which has evacuated the nearby community.
Strong work from all responding agencies and crews involved. To everyone near the fire, please stay safe!

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.

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€
T-Minus: BlueBirds 8, 9, and 10 are Go for Launch aboard Falcon 9.
Launch window opens June 17 at 2:39 a.m. EDT. ππππππππππ
Getting closer to connecting the unconnected and under-connected worldwide. ππΆπ±

CONTAINED!
Last night, our Scooper teams helped fight the Pleasant Valley Fire in Idaho, south of Boise.
The fire is 100% contained at ~560 acres.
Strong work from everyone on the line.

Encapsulation complete.
BlueBirds 8, 9, and 10 are now secured inside Falcon 9's fairing ahead of launch.
A stacked configuration powered by advanced carbon fiber structures, engineered to withstand ascent forces comparable to carrying a fully loaded space shuttle orbiter during launch. πͺ
Next stop: launch. ππππππππππ
Built in Texas. Broadband from space. Designed to connect directly to everyday smartphones. ππΆπ±

$ASTS: AST SpaceMobile BlueBirds 8-10 will be launching aboard $SPCX Falcon-9 this Wednesday June 17th @ 2:39AM ET
The first and only space-based cellular broadband service to your unmodified phone is coming SOONβ’οΈ
$BAER Some good news today at least, Bridger's new King Air w/ exciting new capabilities is ferrying for possible deployment.
Can't confirm deployment yet, but this is the furthest flight the aircraft has taken this year β so the chances are high.
There are two King Airs Bridger brought on this year, I look forward to seeing the other one ship out soon hopefully as well.
Remember $SHMD likely customer from their March order is SpaceX for 700mmx700mm substrates.
Also $INTC is the leader in the emerging glass cores market AND partnered with SpaceX / $TSLA on the Terafab project, so as Intel implements 14A (glass cores is the standard), Schmid $SHMD stands to benefit immensely.
$SHMD manufactures the high-speed acidic etching systems used to create millions of precise Through-Glass Vias (TGVs) with 8x the productivity of traditional methods. This technology provides the high-density interconnects and structural uniformity required for the glass-core architectures in Intel 14A and the SpaceX-Tesla Terafab silicon needed for humanoid robotics and space applications.
$SHMD also is now a confirmed partner (Linkedin alpha from PennyCheck and others) with TrumpF on this technology, a $5B revenue leader. It's highly likely that $SHMD has a foothold with Intel, Tesla, and SpaceX as they power next generation chip technology via their InfinityLine solutions.
If the $SHMD customer is SpaceX, which by all evidence is highly likely, then the Terafab JV between $TSLA and SpaceX is as bullish of news as it gets for a small cap semicap equipment provider like $SHMD. Added today.
$SHMD - SCHMID GROUP IS NOW 60% AI-INFRASTRUCTURE ORDER INTAKE, GUIDED TO 70% BY YEAR-END 2026
SCHMID's May 18 investor call surfaced the load-bearing number β 60% of trailing-12-month order intake is now AI infrastructure or optical-module related, with management guiding the mix to 70% by year-end 2026. Q1 2026 revenue β¬18.2M, order intake β¬13.6M, backlog β¬49M. FY26 guidance reaffirmed: revenue >β¬100M, adj EBITDA margin "significantly above 12%", order intake ~β¬114M. Balance sheet de-risked β β¬31M debt paydown plus $30M Standby Equity Purchase Agreement signed last week as a flexible backstop.
Mechanism: SCHMID is the only NASDAQ-listed pure-play exposed to panel-level packaging wet-process equipment β the InfinityLine H+/V+/C+/P+/L+ portfolio plus the new "Any Layer ET" damascene flow. TSMC's CoPoS pilot line completes June 2026, Intel's Clearwater Forest glass-core debut is live, and Samsung's 415x510mm System-on-Panel demos are being pitched at Tesla Dojo AI6. CSO Roland Rettenmaier on the call: "We are already in discussion for Q3, Q4, bigger projects, already happening in order intake this year and ramping in 2027." That pulls panel-level packaging in by ~6 months versus consensus. Microcap volatility cuts both ways β high-conviction position size, not sleep-easy.
