BlueBird 6 is fully UNFOLDED! 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
At nearly 2,400 square feet, this is now the LARGEST ever commercial communications array ever deployed in low Earth orbit - we just broke our own record!!!
A true breakthrough in space-based cellular broadband, the technology that we invented, built in America by our team in Texas.🤠💪🇺🇸

America’s space economy is booming again—including right here in Midland, Texas.
Wonderful to join Chairman @SenTedCruz today.
The Trump Admin & reforms championed by Cruz are already delivering new jobs and expanded production facilities.
Great news for the country 🇺🇸 🚀

Congrats John and Geoff!
Both are former colleagues.
I did my postdoc in Geoff's lab in Toronto.
After that, I joined Bell Labs, where John was a part-time scientist (and a professor at Caltech).
In fact, John was the reason why the department I joined was working on neural nets.
I first met both of them in 1985.
I met John at a workshop in Les Houches in early 1985.
I met Geoff at the Cognitiva conference in Paris in June 1985.

At AST SpaceMobile, we’ve powered up our own assembly lines to mass-manufacture space-grade solar panels. This not only helps scale production and tightly control quality, but also helps reduce the cost of our spacecraft by ~10-fold compared to traditional methods. 😎☀️🦾 📶#5G
