Execution in motion.
Across our Texas manufacturing facilities, more BlueBird satellites are moving through every stage of production as we build the world’s first space-based cellular broadband network accessible directly by everyday smartphones.
We invented a new way to design, manufacture and deploy large-scale space infrastructure: advanced lightweight composite structures, stackable architecture and repeatable production at a scale never before achieved for commercial communications satellites.
More BlueBirds. More capacity. More connectivity.

A new satellite connectivity capability is taking shape in New Zealand.
@2degreesmobile has officially opened the Marton Satellite Ground Station.
The gateway links AST SpaceMobile’s global satellite system with 2degrees’ core infrastructure, advancing integration to deliver voice, broadband data and text directly to everyday smartphones, without specialized devices.
With nearly 50 gateways in various stages of completion, installation, and planning, we continue to build out our global gateway footprint, bringing us another step closer to commercial service for people to stay seamlessly connected wherever they live, work and travel.

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. 🤠🇺🇸📶🌎📱
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.
Innovation in orbit. Execution in motion. 🌎📶📱🇺🇸

¿Cómo funciona Vodafone SAT?
La tecnología direct-to-device permite que un smartphone convencional se conecte directamente a satélites cuando no existe cobertura terrestre. El objetivo es extender la conectividad a lugares y situaciones en los que la red no está disponible, desde zonas rurales y entornos marítimos hasta emergencias, transporte, industria, agricultura o defensa.
🔺 Sin antenas externas.
🔺 Sin dispositivos especiales.
🔺 Sin una tarjeta SIM adicional.
Vodafone SAT. Del satélite a tu móvil 🛰️
🛰 Vodafone SAT. Del satélite a tu móvil.📱
Avanzamos hacia el lanzamiento en España de servicios de conectividad satelital, fruto del acuerdo comercial alcanzado con Satellite Connect Europe.
Vodafone SAT está diseñado para reforzar la resiliencia de la red y extender la conectividad a zonas de difícil acceso y situaciones excepcionales, permitiendo que un smartphone convencional se conecte directamente a satélites cuando no exista cobertura terrestre.
En las próximas semanas comenzaremos a convertir esta tecnología en aplicaciones reales junto a empresas, administraciones públicas y sectores estratégicos, desde emergencias y seguridad hasta agricultura, transporte, defensa, industria, entornos marítimos y zonas rurales.
El servicio podría estar disponible comercialmente en 2027, sujeto a la evolución del marco regulatorio y a la disponibilidad del espectro necesario.
