The story

AST SpaceMobile was founded in May 2017 by Abel Avellan as AST & Science LLC. Avellan remains the chairman and chief executive officer of the company. Originally from Venezuela, Avellan is a United States citizen who previously worked for Swedish telecommunications conglomerate Ericsson. In 1999, Avellan founded Emerging Markets Communications, a satellite-based communications services provider to maritime and other mobility markets, which was acquired in 2016 for US$550 million. He also serves as a Commissioner of the UN Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development.

AST & Science purchased a controlling interest in NanoAvionics, a Lithuanian satellite manufacturing company, on March 6, 2018.

In March 2020, AST & Science LLC announced a Series B investment round, led by Vodafone and Rakuten, that raised $110 million for the company. Samsung Next, American Tower, and Cisneros also participated.

New Providence's first special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) announced in April 2021 that its shareholders had approved a proposal to form AST SpaceMobile in a business combination with AST & Science LLC. AST SpaceMobile began to trade on the Nasdaq in the week after that announcement. New Providence had raised $462 million through an initial public offering (IPO) and a private investment in public equity (PIPE) to fully fund the development and first phase of its satellite constellation.

AST SpaceMobile started generating revenue through a U.S. Government contract in 2024. However, the company does not expect to begin generating substantial revenue through mobile network operators like AT&T and Verizon until the company's BlueBird 1-5 satellites are fully operational. The mobile network operators with whom the company has agreements and understandings collectively serve over 2.8 billion existing subscribers.

In July 2022, Nokia announced that it had won a five-year 4G and 5G deal from AST SpaceMobile.

AST SpaceMobile sold its majority ownership stake in NanoAvionics to Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace in September 2022.

In January 2024, AST SpaceMobile announced a new partnership with Google and AT&T to collaborate on product development, testing, and implementation plans for bringing satellite connectivity to Android smartphones.

In May 2024, the company announced a $100 million partnership with Verizon to expand coverage to more remote parts of the United States, beyond the reach of a land-based network.

On August 21, 2024, after the company confirmed its first commercial satellite launch in early September, AST SpaceMobile stock price jumped to $38.60 per share, or around 1,800% compared to record lows of $1.97 per share on April 2, 2024. As a result, the company's market cap exceeded $8 billion in August 2024. On December 9, 2024, AST SpaceMobile announced a commercial contract to provide space-based cellular broadband connectivity to Vodafone in Europe and Africa, as well as Vodafone's partners, through 2034; making a first test mobile video call with a standard smartphone the following month.

In December 2024, SpaceNews named AST SpaceMobile "Emerging Space Company of the Year" at its annual Icon Awards.

As of Q2 2025, AST SpaceMobile has raised over US$2 billion.

Time Magazine included the company's BlueBird satellite design in its Best Inventions list in 2025, and Fast Company recognized CEO Abel Avellan among its Visionaries of the Year.

In mid-October 2025, AST SpaceMobile shipped its first next-generation BlueBird Block 2 satellite, FM1 (designated BlueBird-6), to India for launch preparations.

Following delivery, AST SpaceMobile prepared FM1 for a target launch date in December 2025.

On October 29, 2025, AST SpaceMobile announced a 10-year agreement with stc group that includes a $175 million prepayment commitment to support direct-to-device services in Saudi Arabia and selected regional markets.

ISRO's LVM3 successfully launched the BlueBird Block-2 satellite into low Earth orbit on December 24, 2025, lifting off from Sriharikota at 8:55 a.m. and deploying the satellite 15 minutes later.

  • Risks Related to Our Satellites and Planned SpaceMobile Service
  • Risks Related to Our Legal and Regulatory Matters
  • Risks Related to Our Pending Ligado Transaction
  • Risks Related to Our Organizational Structure
  • Risks Related to Tax
  • Risks Related to Owning our Class A Common Stock
  • Our SpaceMobile Service is in development and may not be completed on time or at all and the costs associated with it may be greater than expected.
  • Our ability to successfully implement our business plan will depend on a number of factors outside of our control.
  • We may not be able to raise additional funds for continued operations, to initiate our SpaceMobile Service and for the Ligado Transaction when we need them on favorable terms or at all.
  • We will incur significant expenses and capital expenditures in the future to execute our business plan and develop the SpaceMobile Service, and we may be unable to adequately forecast or control our expenses.
  • We have a history of losses and may never become profitable.
The other 54 risks
  • Contracts with the U.S. government subject us to risks including early termination, audits, investigations, sanctions and penalties.
  • Our services are highly regulated.
  • We will rely on MNOs and require regulatory approvals to access the spectrum we need to provide SCS service.
  • We have a limited operating history and operate in a rapidly evolving industry, which makes it difficult to evaluate our business and future prospects and increases the risk of your investment.
  • We are highly dependent on the services of Abel Avellan, our founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and if we are unable to retain Mr. Avellan, attract and retain key employees and hire qualified management, technical and engineering personnel, our business could be adversely affected.
  • Rapid and significant technological changes could render the SpaceMobile Service obsolete and impair our ability to compete.
  • If we fail to manage our future growth effectively, our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
  • We could fail to achieve revenue from the SpaceMobile Service, or experience a decline in revenue, as a result of increasing competition from companies in the wireless communications industry, including wireless and other satellite operators, and from the extension of land-based communications services or new technologies.
  • We face competition from existing and potential competitors in the telecommunications industry, including terrestrial and satellite-based network systems.
  • We will be dependent on third parties to market and sell our products and services.
  • We rely on third parties for the supply of equipment, satellite components and launch services.
  • We and our suppliers rely on complex systems and components, which involve a significant degree of risk and uncertainty in terms of operational performance and costs.
  • We face substantial risks associated with our international operations.
  • Foreign MNOs will expose us to currency exchange risk due to the effect of future exchange rate fluctuations, which could adversely affect our business and operating results.
  • We may be negatively affected by global economic conditions.
  • Pursuing strategic transactions could cause us to incur additional risks.
  • Covenants in our debt instruments limit our ability to undertake certain types of transactions and adversely affect our liquidity.
  • Our failure to comply with the covenants in our debt instruments could result in an event of default under the applicable agreement, which could materially adversely affect our financial condition and liquidity.
  • Servicing our debt requires cash that would otherwise be used to fund our business plan, and we may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to pay our debt.
  • We may not be able to launch our satellites, or operate our satellites after launch, successfully.
  • Launch insurance, even if it is available, will not fully cover the risks related to the launch of our satellites.
  • Our satellites may experience operational problems, which could affect our ability to provide an acceptable level of service to the end-users.
  • Our products could fail to perform or could perform at reduced levels of service because of technological malfunctions or deficiencies, regulatory compliance issues, or events outside of our control, which would harm our business and reputation.
  • Our satellites have a limited life and may fail prematurely, which could cause our network to be compromised and materially and adversely affect our business, prospects and potential profitability.
  • Our business could be adversely affected if we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights from unauthorized use by third parties.
  • Our intellectual property applications for registration may not be granted or registered, which may have a material adverse effect on our ability to prevent others from commercially exploiting products similar to ours.
  • We may become subject to claims that our satellites or services violate the patent or intellectual property rights of others, which could be costly and disruptive to us.
  • Our customized hardware and software may be difficult and expensive to service, upgrade or replace.
  • Our networks and those of our third-party service providers and MNOs may be vulnerable to security risks.
  • Cyberattacks impacting our networks or systems may have a material effect on our operations.
  • Our satellites may collide with space debris or another spacecraft, which could adversely affect the performance of the SpaceMobile Service.
  • Our ability to provide service to our customers and generate revenues could be harmed by adverse governmental regulatory actions.
  • Our ability to offer one or more services in important countries or regions of the world could be limited due to regulatory requirements or geopolitical events.
  • We expect to provide the SpaceMobile Service in the U.S. and elsewhere on frequencies not regularly allocated for mobile-satellite service, which requires regulatory approval, and there can be no assurance that we will receive or be able to maintain such approval.
  • The Ligado Transaction may not be consummated, and may be impacted by ongoing litigation.
  • Our shareholders may experience additional dilution due to the consideration which we would be required to pay to Ligado in the transaction.
  • We may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the Ligado Transaction.
  • The debt financing raised in connection with the Ligado Transaction poses risks for AST and its shareholders.
  • Once the Ligado Transaction closes, AST will face regulatory, technological and adoption risks with respect to use and access to Ligado’s spectrum.
  • We are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing standards and, as a result, qualify for, and rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. You will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.
  • The multi-class structure of our Common Stock has the effect of concentrating voting power with our founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, which will limit an investor’s ability to influence the outcome of important transactions, including a change of control.
  • Our multi-class structure may adversely affect the stock price of our Class A Common Stock.
  • We are a holding company and rely primarily on distributions from AST LLC to fund our operations.
  • Our principal asset is our interest in AST LLC, and accordingly we depend on distributions from AST LLC to make any payments required to be made by us under the Tax Receivable Agreement.
  • The Tax Receivable Agreement requires us to make cash payments to the TRA Holders in respect of certain tax benefits and such payments may be substantial.
  • Our stockholders may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings, exercise of penny warrants, and conversion of convertible notes and such dilution may be substantial.
  • If we are unable to raise additional capital in the future, it may result in our independent registered public accounting firm or management expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in future financial statements.
  • Anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents could delay or prevent a change of control.
  • Provisions in our organizational documents and certain rules imposed by regulatory authorities may discourage lawsuits against our directors and officers.
  • General Risk Factors
  • The market price and trading volume of our securities may be volatile.
  • Information available in public media that is published by third parties, including blogs, articles, message boards and social and other media may include statements not attributable to the Company and may not be reliable or accurate.
  • We may be subject to litigation, including securities class action litigation or other claims relating to our business operations, which may harm our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.
  • Changes in U.S. trade policy, including changes to existing trade agreements and any resulting changes in international trade relations, may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition or operating results.
  • Acquisitions, investments, partnerships, joint ventures and other strategic transactions involve a number of inherent risks, any of which could result in the benefits anticipated not being realized.

Legal proceedings

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business and that have not been fully adjudicated. In the opinion of management, there are not any pending legal proceedings or claims that, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results. However, the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. Therefore, although management considers the likelihood of such an outcome to be remote, if one or more of these legal matters were resolved against us in a reporting period for amounts in excess of management’s expectations, our consolidated financial statements for that reporting period could be materially adversely affected. Refer to Note 9 Commitments and Contingencies in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for further information.
