AST SpaceMobile has successfully launched its sixth satellite, BlueBird 6, which aims to provide direct-to-cell broadband service. This satellite, larger than its predecessors, is designed to support over 2,000 cell connections with 120Mbps each, though full capacity won't be reached until 2026. The company plans to launch 45 to 60 satellites by year's end, but it still trails far behind SpaceX's Starlink.
