December 19, 2025, 7:04 PM EST. AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) jumped about 6.6% ahead of its next-gen satellite launch, closing near $65.93 as investors repositioned ahead of the BlueBird 6 rollout. The Sunday launch targets ubiquitous cellular broadband from space directly to mobile phones. BlueBird 6 features the largest commercial phased array in low Earth orbit, nearly 2,400 square feet, delivering up to 10x the data capacity of earlier generations. The company plans to ramp production and expand manufacturing sites in Florida and Texas for six launches through March 2026.
