๐ก SpaceX launched 3 direct-to-cell satellites that nearly double broadband speeds
AST SpaceMobile's BlueBird 11, 12, and 13 lifted off on a Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral on August 5, bringing the constellation to 13 spacecraft in orbit. These next-gen satellites nearly double peak download speeds versus earlier BlueBirds and are built to beam broadband directly to ordinary smartphones โ no special gear required. The Falcon 9 booster made its 30th landing on the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas. Could space-based cell service reach everywhere on Earth sooner than we think?
