AST SpaceMobile is moving forward with its space-based cellular broadband program, shipping three additional BlueBird satellites toward a future deployment after a convoy departed the company’s Midland, Texas facility.

According to MarketBeat Ratings, the satellites are en route to Cape Canaveral to be prepared for deployment following the Aug. 5 launch of BlueBirds 11, 12, and 13.

While the shipment adds momentum, the outlook for the stock remains clouded by several unresolved risks highlighted by the outlet, including a securities fraud lawsuit, prior earnings misses, and elevated short interest.

MarketBeat Ratings also noted that an October launch remains speculative because AST SpaceMobile has not announced an official launch date.
