The progression from BlueBirds 8, 9, and 10 to this next mission, together with the continued production and assembly of satellites through BlueBird 37, reflects the strength of our manufacturing capabilities and our ability to steadily expand the network while we work to connect the unconnected and under-connected around the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nBlueBirds 11, 12, and 13 feature commercial communications arrays measuring approximately 2,400 square feet, matching the scale of the BlueBird satellites currently operating in orbit. These next-generation satellites are expected to deliver nearly double the peak data speeds of AST SpaceMobile&#8217;s initial Block 1 BlueBird satellites, which recently achieved peak download speeds of 98.9 Mbps directly to standard smartphones.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe satellites leverage AST SpaceMobile&#8217;s next-generation stackable satellite architecture, including advanced composite carbon structures designed to support efficient multi-satellite launches and accelerated constellation deployment. Combined with the company&#8217;s multi-provider launch strategy, the architecture is designed to provide flexibility in deploying AST SpaceMobile&#8217;s global constellation.<\/p>\n<p>\nAST SpaceMobile has agreements with nearly 60 mobile network operators globally with over 3 billion subscribers combined and strategic partnerships with AT&amp;T, Verizon, Vodafone, Rakuten, Google, Bell, Telus, stc Group, and American Tower.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe exact timing of orbital launches is subject to change based on a number of factors, including launch readiness of the launch provider, weather conditions, and other factors, many of which are beyond the company\u2019s control.<\/p>\n<p><b>About AST SpaceMobile<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nAST SpaceMobile is building the first and only global cellular broadband network in space to operate directly with standard, unmodified mobile devices based on our extensive IP and patent portfolio, and designed for both commercial and government applications.
