AST SpaceMobile is set to launch its BlueBird 7 satellite in late February 2026 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station using Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket. This satellite will enhance the company's cellular broadband network by providing direct connectivity to standard smartphones and will feature one of the largest commercial communications arrays in low Earth orbit. The launch is part of AST SpaceMobile's ongoing efforts to expand its satellite constellation and improve global direct-to-device connectivity.
