BlueBird 11-13

Podczas tej misji na orbitę trafią trzy satelity budowanej przez firmę AST SpaceMobile konstelacji, która ma zapewniać szerokopasmowy dostęp do Internetu za pomocą standardowych telefonów komórkowych bez konieczności ich modyfikacji.

Jest to druga generacja satelitów BlueBird (Block 2), ich przepustowość ma być do 10 razy wyższa w porównaniu do poprzednich satelitów. Powierzchnia anten każdego z satelitów wynosi ponad 200 metrów kwadratowych.

Globalna usługa AST SpaceMobile będzie początkowo skierowana do kluczowych rynków, takich jak Stany Zjednoczone, Europa, Japonia, rząd USA i inne rynki strategiczne.
Kampania startowa Stacji Sił Kosmicznych Cape Canaveral na Florydzie, zaplanowana na lata 2025 i 2026, będzie wykorzystywać istniejące rakiety nośne i rakietę New Glenn firmy Blue Origin do wyniesienia na niską orbitę okołoziemską do ~60 satelitów Block 2.

Satelity wykorzystują architekturę satelitów nowej generacji AST SpaceMobile, składającą się z kompozytów węglowych, zaprojektowanych z myślą o efektywnym wystrzeliwaniu wielu satelitów i przyspieszonym wdrażaniu konstelacji.
W połączeniu ze strategią firmy, zakładającą wystrzeliwanie satelitów przez wielu dostawców, architektura ta zapewnia elastyczność we wdrażaniu globalnej konstelacji AST SpaceMobile.

AST SpaceMobile zawarło umowy z niemal 60 operatorami sieci komórkowych na całym świecie, mającymi łącznie ponad 3 miliardy abonentów, a także strategiczne partnerstwa z AT&T, Verizon, Vodafone, Rakuten, Google, Bell, Telus, STC Group i American Tower.

AKT 2) Falcon-9R B1077.29 | BlueBird 8 - 10 | 17.06.2026

SpaceX is targeting Wednesday, August 5 for launch of AST SpaceMobile’s BlueBird 11-13 mission to orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Liftoff is targeted for 3:42 a.m. ET with additional opportunities available until 5:18 a.m. ET. If needed, a backup launch opportunity is available on Thursday, August 6 during a launch window that opens at 3:21 a.m. ET.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX.

This will be the 30th flight for the Falcon 9 first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-5, GPS III Space Vehicle 06, Inmarsat I-6 F2, CRS-28, Intelsat G-37, NG-20, TD7, BlueBird 8-10, and 21 Starlink missions. After stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

SpaceX launches 3 AST SpaceMobile BlueBird satellites on Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral
August 5, 2026 Will Robinson-Smith

(...) More than 8.5 minutes after liftoff, B1077 landed on the droneship, A Shortfall of Gravitas, positioned in the Atlantic Ocean. This was the 162nd landing on this vessel and the 645th Falcon booster landing to date.

The trio of BlueBird satellites were deployed several minutes apart beginning about 54 minutes after liftoff. Because of the size of the payload adaptor, SpaceX didn’t broadcast the deployment live, but rather confirmed the release on social media.

The 2,400-square-foot sized satellites will take a couple of weeks to deploy to their full size and complete checkouts before entering into the broader constellation. (...)

SpaceX launches 3 giant BlueBird direct-to-cell satellites on Falcon 9 rocket (video)

(...) Today's launch further expands AST SpaceMobile's constellation in low Earth orbit (LEO), which will beam internet service directly to unmodified smartphones once operational.

The newcomers bring the total number of BlueBird spacecraft launched to 13 and marks a significant milestone toward getting the constellation fully up and running, according to AST SpaceMobile.

"This orbital launch, combined with expanded manufacturing capacity and the recent successful launch and deployment of BlueBird satellites 8, 9, and 10, position us for beta services later this year with our space-based cellular broadband coverage," Scott Wisniewski, the company's president, said in a July 28 statement.

AST SpaceMobile began assembling its constellation with "Block 1" spacecraft, which have communications arrays that cover 693 square feet (64.4 square meters) when unfurled.

That's pretty big, but the company upped the ante with BlueBird 6, which reached LEO atop an Indian LVM3 rocket in December 2025. That was the first "next-generation" BlueBird, a class whose antennas cover a whopping 2,400 square feet (223 square m).

Prior to today's launch, there had been four next-gen BlueBirds in LEO — numbers 6, 8, 9 and 10. (BlueBird 7 was lost shortly after liftoff this past April after its Blue Origin New Glenn rocket suffered an anomaly.) So, BlueBirds 11 through 13 nearly double the off-Earth population. (...)

SpaceX support vessels for the Bluebird 11-13 launch have returned to Port Canaveral. Doug came in first with only one of two fairings; this is the first fairing loss since SpainSat NG-1 (Jan 2025). Tug SWIII & ASOG came in with booster B1077 (30th trip to space & back). 👍🚀⛴️
