AST SpaceMobile AST SpaceMobile is building the first space-based cellular broadband network for mobile phones

AST SpaceMobile and our global partners are building the first and only space-based cellular broadband network to be accessible by standard smartphones. Called SpaceMobile, this ultra-powerful network is being designed to provide connectivity at 4G/5G speeds everywhere on the planet – on land, at sea and in flight. For the first time ever, mobile subscribers will be able to automatically roam from land networks to a space network. Whether in the most remote location, on rural farmland or in the midst of a crisis or natural disaster, people will remain connected no matter what – without having to invest in expensive, specialized hardware.

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 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

Built in Texas. A new layer of connectivity. 🇺🇸🌎📶📱

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. 🇺🇸🌎📶📱

Ex*****on 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.

A new satellite connectivity capability is taking shape in New Zealand.

2degrees 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 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. Ex*****on at scale.
