AST SpaceMobile confirmed the arrival of its BlueBird 11 satellite at the Cape Canaveral launch site in Florida. The company targets the first half of August for a launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
BlueBird 11 belongs to a next-generation fleet designed to provide direct-to-smartphone cellular broadband. BlueBirds 12 and 13 will arrive at the site shortly to join the upcoming mission.
This launch follows the successful deployment of BlueBirds 8, 9, and 10 in June 2026. The arrival keeps the company's satellite deployment schedule on track.
