AST SpaceMobile Announces Successful Orbital Launch of BlueBird 6, the Largest Commercial Communications Array Ever Deployed in Low Earth Orbit

MIDLAND, Texas, December 24, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AST SpaceMobile, Inc. ("AST SpaceMobile") (NASDAQ: ASTS), the company building the first and only space-based cellular broadband network accessible directly by everyday smartphones, designed for both commercial and government applications, today announced the successful orbital launch of BlueBird 6.

The BlueBird 6 mission lifted off at 10:25 p.m. EST on December 23 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, India. BlueBird 6 becomes now the largest commercial communications array ever deployed in low Earth orbit, spanning nearly 2,400 square feet, three times larger than AST SpaceMobile’s previous record-breaking BlueBirds 1-5, engineered to deliver commercial and government applications, including high-speed 4G and 5G space-based cellular broadband directly to standard, unmodified smartphones, and government applications that benefit from the power, size, and patented technology of AST SpaceMobile’s BlueBird spacecrafts.

Today’s successful launch kicks off our next phase of execution and keeps us on track to launch 45–60 satellites by the end of 2026, with launches planned every one or two months on average.
BlueBird 6 was assembled, integrated, and tested at AST SpaceMobile’s manufacturing facilities in Midland, Texas. AST SpaceMobile operates nearly 500,000 square feet of manufacturing and operations facilities worldwide, supported by a workforce of more than 1,800 employees and a technology platform backed by over 3,800 patents and patent-pending claims.

AST SpaceMobile has agreements with over 50 mobile network operators globally with nearly 3 billion subscribers combined and strategic partnerships with AT&T, Verizon, Vodafone, Rakuten, Google, American Tower, Bell and stc Group.

If AST get only 10% of market = $ 180 billion

According to McKinsey, the space sector is projected to reach $1.8 trillion by 2035, so it's not surprising Alphabet is attempting to cash in on the explosive growth expected.

2025 - a turning point for satellites in telecoms

2025 saw telecom giants accelerate their integration efforts of non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) to bridge connectivity gaps and future-proof the sector.

December 24, 2025

As the industry further shifts from viewing satellites as standalone solutions to critical components of hybrid terrestrial-NTN architectures, here we look back at some of the top stories and key developments over this past year.

Satellite and terrestrial integration

A 2025 survey showed that NTNs are viewed by the telecom industry as reinforcing service reliability and adding an extra layer of network redundancy to 5G. This view increasingly makes the convergence of satellites and 5G (and fibre) a mainstream application in telecoms.

Similarly, and Rakuten Mobile's and AST SpaceMobile's claim of a world first with their satellite video call in Japan further supports satellite’s charm globally.

The market trends on the whole signal a maturing market where scale and spectrum ownership are critical for market competitiveness. If the stars align right, 2026 ought to bring more headlines for the satellite comms sector.
