Dear AST SpaceMobile Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendars for June 17

AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) has been chasing one of the most ambitious goals in telecom to turning satellites into cell towers in space. The company is building a cellular network in space that connects directly to everyday smartphones, aiming to eliminate dead zones and expand broadband access by working alongside wireless carriers rather than replacing them. That vision is about to take another major step forward.

AST SpaceMobile has marked June 17 as the target launch date for BlueBird 8, 9, and 10, three next-generation satellites scheduled to lift off aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida. These satellites are expected to deliver nearly double the peak data speeds achieved by the company’s first-generation BlueBird satellites, further expanding the capabilities of its growing network.
