BlueWalker 3 is expected to launch aboard a SpaceX mission from
Cape Canaveral, Florida, in March 2022. The spacecraft has an
aperture of 693 square feet and is designed to communicate directly
with cell phones via 3GPP standard frequencies.
“We're pleased to launch with US-based SpaceX, which allows us
to deploy BlueWalker 3 from our own backyard,“ said Scott
Wisniewski, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer of
AST SpaceMobile. “The spacecraft will be the second prototype to
leverage our patented technology.”
AST SpaceMobile's mission is to eliminate the connectivity gaps
faced by today's five billion mobile subscribers moving in and out
of coverage zones, and bring cellular broadband to approximately
half of the world's population who remain unconnected.
Partners in this effort are leading global wireless
infrastructure companies, including Rakuten, Vodafone and American
Tower. As of June 30, 2021, AST SpaceMobile has entered into
agreements and understandings with mobile network operators which
collectively cover approximately 1.4 billion mobile
subscribers.
