On June 15, AST SpaceMobile rose 5.04% in regular trading, trading at $84.1/share, with turnover of $811 million. On the news front, the company's BlueBird 8, 9, and 10 satellites are scheduled to launch on June 17 from Cape Canaveral aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, with the launch window now just two days away, providing a clear near-term catalyst.
The mission aims to expand AST SpaceMobile's direct-to-device satellite broadband network, with the next-generation satellites expected to deliver peak data transmission rates nearly double those of the first-generation BlueBird satellites. The confirmed launch timeline has effectively alleviated market concerns over satellite deployment progress.
The stock had previously retreated sharply from the $97 range to approximately $82, driven by fund rebalancing ahead of SpaceX's market debut and broad pressure across the aerospace sector. The current rebound reflects both the approaching launch catalyst and technical oversold recovery demand. Within the Alternative Carriers sector, SpaceX rose 7.86%, while Iridium fell 4.14% and Globalstar declined 0.06%.
