FCC Approves AST SpaceMobile's Launch of Largest-Ever BlueBird Satellites for D2D Service
Aug 5, 2024, 08:30 PM
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has approved AST SpaceMobile's launch of its first commercial BlueBird satellites, the largest-ever communications arrays to be deployed commercially in low Earth orbit. The initial license allows AST SpaceMobile to operate five BlueBird satellites, which will use V, S, and UHF frequencies for gateway, feeder link, and telemetry, tracking, and control operations. These satellites will provide direct-to-device (D2D) service, including direct-to-smartphone connectivity. However, the company still requires additional regulatory approval to offer space-based cellular coverage.
