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.

Only fair to spell out the stakes and risks.
Successfully deploying multiple sats at once is the only way $ASTS starts beta service this year and keeps its massive +2 year lead over $SPCX in high bandwidth/reliable direct to device.
If they nail this then it's over in my mind.
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±

$ASTS the market can ignore a lot, but when beta service starts and we see AST SpaceMobile doing what Starlink mobile is promising to do in a few years with all the deals in place needed for incredibly fast subscriber growth it will no longer be able to ignore @AST_SpaceMobile
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. ππππππππποΏ½οΏ½οΏ½οΏ½
Built in Texas. Broadband from space. Designed to connect directly to everyday smartphones. ππΆπ±
