$ASTS ✨ The AST SpaceMobile story continues to evolve. What began as a vision to connect ordinary smartphones directly to satellites anywhere on Earth is now expanding into government and defense communications. Key developments: ✅ SDA Europa Track 2 contract participation ✅ Support for DIU and U.S. government-related programs ✅ Dedicated Government & Defense business unit ✅ BlueBird satellites positioned for dual-use civilian and defense applications ASTS may no longer be just a satellite connectivity company. The company is increasingly being viewed as a strategic space infrastructure platform spanning commercial, government, and defense communications networks. Large-scale defense revenue opportunities remain potential rather than guaranteed, but the market is beginning to evaluate ASTS as critical connectivity infrastructure rather than simply a telecom growth story. linkedin.com/posts/aymanboot… $ASTS #ASTSpaceMobile #DirectToCell #Satellite #SpaceTech #Defense #GoldenDome

China on Tuesday successfully launched a Zhuque-2E Y6 carrier rocket to transport two new satellites into space. The carrier rocket blasted off at 4:23 p.m. (Beijing Time) on June 9 from the Dongfeng commercial space innovation pilot zone in northwest China. The two satellites are named Spacesail DTC 01 and China Mobile 02, respectively. This was the eighth mission involving Zhuque-2 series carrier rockets. According to the rocket developer, Chinese private rocket company LandSpace, the Zhuque-2E Y6 is a two-stage cryogenic liquid launch vehicle, with a body diameter of 3.35 meters. The rocket has a carrying capacity of 6 tonnes to the low-Earth orbit and 4 tonnes to the 500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit, the developer said. #Zhuque2E #ZQ2E #朱雀 #LiquidOxygenMethane #LoxMethane #LandSpace #ZQ3 #SpacesailConstellation #DirectToCell #DTC #LowOrbitSatellites #LEO #ChinaSpace #SpaceTech #CommercialSpace

$ASTS ✨ A perspective worth considering for investors following the recent New Glenn incident. The New Glenn explosion was undoubtedly a bad day for Blue Origin, but it does not mean the end of the program. Why does this matter to AST SpaceMobile investors? ASTS’s long-term satellite deployment plans depend on a healthy and competitive launch ecosystem. Launch delays can affect timelines, but a single incident does not change the long-term business opportunity. Key points: • Aerospace is inherently a high-risk industry • Failures and setbacks are part of technological progress • Every major space company has faced challenges during development • Recovery, investigation, and improvement are normal parts of the process One bad day does not define an entire program. What matters now is not speculation, but understanding the cause of the incident, implementing corrective actions, and safely returning to flight. For ASTS investors, maintaining access to multiple launch providers remains an important factor in achieving the company’s long-term satellite deployment goals. The key issue is not the incident itself, but how quickly the industry responds, adapts, and restores launch capacity. “We do these things not because they are easy, but because they are worth doing.” #ASTS #ASTSpaceMobile #BlueOrigin #NewGlenn #SpaceX #Satellite #SpaceTech #DirectToCell #Aerospace #SpaceIndustry

🚨 به نظر می‌رسد که اینترنت ماهواره‌ای Direct-to-Cell واقعا در راه ایران است؛ یعنی اتصال مستقیم موبایل‌های معمولی به ماهواره، بدون دیش و تجهیزات سنتی! ✅ رویترز گزارش داده پنتاگون و اسپیس‌ایکس درباره فعال‌سازی اینترنت ماهواره‌ای Direct-to-Cell برای ایرانی‌ها گفتگو کرده‌اند؛ فناوری‌ای که می‌تواند بدون دیش و فقط با موبایل معمولی کار کند. هنوز چیزی قطعی نیست، اما اگر روزی فعال شود، آمادگی سخت‌افزاری از الان مهم است. 🛜 اگر می‌خواهید در سال آینده شانس دسترسی آزادتر به اینترنت را داشته باشید، از الان به این نکات توجه کنید: • گوشی 5G نسخه Global یا EU بخرید، نه پک چین • حتماً eSIM داشته باشد • مودم قوی و آپدیت نرم‌افزاری حداقل ۵ ساله مهم است • پاوربانک و پنل خورشیدی تهیه کنید • گوشی‌های قدیمی و چینی شانسی ندارند (قطعا نسخه گوشی برای Global یا اروپا باشد) ⚠️ هدف ایالات متحده این است که حاکمیت و مالکیت رژیم جمهوری‌اسلامی بر اینترنت شهروندان ایران را از این رژیم ضدایرانی بگیرد. این فناوری هنوز کامل و عمومی نشده، اما آمادگی سخت‌افزاری امروز شما می‌تواند در سال آینده تعیین‌کننده باشد. ⁧#اینترنت_ماهواره‌ای⁩ ⁦#DirectToCell⁩ - Exclusive: Pentagon spars with SpaceX over Starlink price hike during Iran war reuters.com/business/aerospa…
