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. 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 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. 🇺🇸🌎📶📱 #ASTSpaceMobile #Broadband #ConnectingtheUnconnected #BlueBirds

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. 🇺🇸📶🌎📱 Build. Stack. Launch. Repeat. #ASTSpaceMobile #Broadband #ConnectingtheUnconnected #BlueBirds

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. #ASTSpaceMobile #Broadband #ConnectingtheUnconnected #BlueBirds

BlueBirds 12 and 13 are now fully deployed. Each 2,400-square-foot communications array is part of a platform built to address far more than mobile connectivity. From cellular broadband to AI computing and advanced government applications,  such as space-based radar capabilities. Production of BlueBird 14 is completed, while BlueBirds 15 and 16 are nearing completion and are not far behind as we move towards launch, with production advancing through BlueBird 48. A growing constellation. An expanding range of applications. A market that reaches across commercial and government communications infrastructure worldwide. 🇺🇸📶🌎📱 Built in Texas. Broadband from space. Execution at scale. #ASTSpaceMobile #Broadband #ConnectingtheUnconnected #BlueBirds

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. 🤠🇺🇸📶🌎📱
