๐ฐ๏ธ SpaceX Launched 3 Giant Direct-to-Cell Satellites This Morning โ No Special Antenna Needed
Early today, a Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral carrying AST SpaceMobile's BlueBird 11, 12, and 13 โ massive satellites built to beam cellular broadband straight to ordinary smartphones with no special hardware required. The new generation nearly doubles peak download speeds over earlier models, and the growing constellation is targeting beta service later this year. The rocket's first stage nailed its 30th landing on the drone ship "A Shortfall of Gravitas." Could space-based cell service eventually replace the need for ground cell towers?
