WASHINGTON, Aug. 7, 2026 – AST SpaceMobile successfully launched three more of its massive BlueBird satellites on Wednesday, for a new total of 13 in orbit.

The three launched Wednesday are larger than the company’s initial five satellites, AST said in a release, and can support higher mobile broadband speeds. They were launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral.
