BlueBirds 14, 15, and 16 have arrived in Cape Canaveral! Back in Texas, satellite builds are underway through BlueBird 50.
Ready to deliver cellular broadband to everyday smartphones and support critical government applications. Next stop: orbit ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Built in Texas. A new layer of connectivity.

American operators hold ~1,000 MHz of low and mid band spectrum, tunable on the @AST_SpaceMobile network. With our current satellites in orbit and in build, our United States partners will access critical low-band and mid-band spectrum that no one can match!
When combined with the mobile network operators' extensive spectrum assets, and in combination with AST SpaceMobile controlled 45 MHz of L-band spectrum, users will see peak data rates of nearly 200 Mbps from the largest-ever satellites in low Earth orbit.
Together we are making the strongest, most resilient, AI ready networks in the planet. ๐บ๐ธ ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ค
BlueBird 11. Fully deployed.
All 13 satellites - 20,000 sq ft of phased arrays in orbit - performing as planned.
American innovation built for space based cellular broadband, resilience, and security. ๐บ๐ธ๐๐ถ๐ฑ
Another convoy is on the move.
BlueBirds 14, 15, and 16 have left our Texas facility and are on the road to Cape Canaveral.
Next stop: orbit. ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
The largest commercial communications arrays ever deployed in low Earth orbit. A scalable platform to deliver space-based cellular broadband connectivity directly to standard phones, support secure government applications, and deliver a new third layer of connectivity.
In Midland, Texas, production continues to advance through BlueBird 50, with more than 20 spacecraft structures now being integrated as part of our assembly process.
One constellation. Connectivity. Resilience. Security. Built in Texas. ๐บ๐ธ๐๐ถ๐ฑ

$ASTS Guess what's gonna travel 75% of state Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, a little bit of Mississippi and finally into Florida and weigh 129k pounds? First satellite shipment confirmed.
