AST SpaceMobile, Inc. announced the addition of two new manufacturing sites in Texas and Florida, as it continues to expand its operations. The company now employs more than 1,800 professionals, the majority based at its West Texas headquarters. This growth underscores AST SpaceMobile's long-standing commitment to advancing American space innovation and leadership while expanding U.S. jobs.
Texas, the company's primary manufacturing hub, is now home to five facilities, including a new site in Midland, where AST SpaceMobile builds its highly sophisticated BlueBird satellites from raw materials to finished spacecraft, supported by 3,800 U.S. patents and patent-pending claims. Complementing this Texas footprint is the company's Maryland location, as well as a newly added facility in Homestead, Florida, which increases production capacity and extends AST SpaceMobile's presence into another business-friendly state. The company is 95% vertically integrated, with all major manufacturing processes kept under U.S. control. AST SpaceMobile continues to make significant investment in expanding U.S. facilities, advancing manufacturing and working capabilities, a foundation that enables continued growth and leadership in space-based cellular broadband connectivity.
AST SpaceMobile continues to work alongside its U.S. strategic partners, including AT&T, Verizon, American Tower, and Google, to deploy a global satellite network capable of delivering cellular broadband connectivity directly to everyday smartphones.
