AST SpaceMobile's BlueBird‑6 unfolds 2,400 sq ft array — largest commercial LEO antenna

AST SpaceMobile's BlueBird‑6 satellite has successfully unfolded a roughly 2,400‑square‑foot communications array in low Earth orbit, the largest commercial antenna ever deployed. The on‑orbit activation completes BlueBird‑6's deployment, advances the firm's direct‑to‑cellular broadband rollout and lifted ASTS stock after the milestone.
