Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket to make space-based cellular service a reality, transforming mobile connectivity

Live Mint  

Blue Origin has entered into a multi-launch agreement to deploy multiple next-generation Block 2 BlueBird satellites for AST SpaceMobile, a company building the world’s first space-based cellular broadband network. The satellites will be launched into low Earth orbit aboard New Glenn, Blue Origin’s powerful orbital launch vehicle. “New Glenn’s performance and unprecedented capacity within its seven-meter fairing enables us to deploy more of our Block 2 BlueBird satellites in orbit, helping provide continuous cellular broadband service coverage across some of the most in-demand cellular markets globally,” said Abel Avellan, Founder, Chairman, and CEO, AST SpaceMobile. “These satellites will enhance global connectivity, impacting lives in ways that will improve communication across the planet.” Blue Origin's New Glenn is slated to conduct its first launch later this year, marking a significant milestone in the company's journey to revolutionize space transportation and satellite deployment.
