Execution in motion. Across our Texas manufacturing facilities, more BlueBird satellites are moving through every stage of production as we build the world’s first space-based cellular broadband network accessible directly by everyday smartphones. We invented a new way to design, manufacture and deploy large-scale space infrastructure: advanced lightweight composite structures, stackable architecture and repeatable production at a scale never before achieved for commercial communications satellites. More BlueBirds. More capacity. More connectivity. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ“ΆπŸŒŽπŸ“± Build. Stack. Launch. Repeat. #ASTSpaceMobile #Broadband #ConnectingtheUnconnected #BlueBirds

BlueBirds 8, 9, and 10 are now fully deployed to their full size, each the world's largest communications arrays operating in Low Earth Orbit. We invented a new way to design, manufacture at scale, deploy, and fly lightweight composite stackable architecture combined, with the world's largest and most advanced direct- to-device and radar phased-array with the ability to launch them in groups of 3, 5, 6, or 8 on a single launch. Our BlueBird platform brings together high-performance space-based cellular broadband with peak data rates approaching 200 Mbps, space AI edge computing, and many mission-critical government applications, all on one platform where the largest-ever size matters! BlueBirds 11, 12 and 13 are already at the Cape preparing for their imminent launch. BlueBirds 14, 15 and 16 are right behind them. Production has already moved through satellite 42. All of this is happening in Texas. πŸ€ πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ“ΆπŸŒŽπŸ“±

BlueBirds 9 and 10 are now successfully deployed in orbit. Two more of the world's largest commercial communications arrays have joined our growing constellation. Another step closer to the future of cellular broadband from space. With BlueBirds 11, 12, and 13 at Cape Canaveral preparing for their imminent launch, and production advancing through spacecraft 41, we continue to execute at scale. Innovation in orbit.

CATL will deploy 5GWh of sodium-based battery storage systems in Europe starting in 2027. The deal with Dutch energy provider Alfen covers western European countries, including the Netherlands. CATL said this is the first deployment of sodium battery storage in Europe. The same TENER sodium system has already secured a 60GWh supply deal in China with HyperStrong. Source: Bloomberg

🚨 $ONDS SENTRYCS SPOTTED AT ARROWHEAD STADIUM IN KANSAS CITY FOR THE WORLD CUP?! πŸ€” I was watching the Argentina vs. Algeria highlights on YouTube when I noticed a familiar piece of hardware placed atop the stadium πŸ‘€ I have to say, this tripod setup and hardware shape looks very similar to the Sentrycs Horizon counter-drone system that we know is being deployed in Kansas City πŸ”₯ Did I just spot where Sentrycs is keeping watch, or is this something completely different? πŸ€”
