$ASTS: 🚨TODAY THE US SPACE DEVELOPMENT AGENCY FORMALLY BACKS AST SPACEMOBILE'S STA TO TEST NEW RADIOLOCATION SERVICES OVER 902-928MHz SPECTRUM USING BLUEBIRD SATELLITES IN SUPPORT OF NATIONAL SECURITY AND THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR ➡️ This builds on the testing AST and the SDA have been doing since June 2026 from a prior STA, so we can assume things are going very, very, very well. ➡️ This is WAY bigger than a routine experimental FCC license. The Space Development Agency is formally asking NTIA/FCC to approve AST SpaceMobile’s BlueBird testing because it directly supports an SDA prime contract and an on-orbit demonstration of “commercial-based tactical satellite capabilities.” ➡️ AST plans to use BlueBirds for radiolocation testing over 902–928 MHz spectrum near federal gateway sites in Maryland, Texas, Alabama and Hawaii. SDA says the testing needs to start imminently, is important to its program schedule, and advances a national security objective. ➡️ SDA says these capabilities are of “significant interest” to the Department of War, specifically the Space Based Sensing and Targeting portfolio, and will help evaluate proliferated commercial space architectures for tactical communications AND sensing. BlueBird satellite's largest phased arrays in LEO are being evaluated for radiolocation, sensing, targeting-related missions and tactical communications by the U.S. government. ➡️ Dual use capability --> AST is building a global constellation funded primarily around a massive commercial D2D opportunity, then layering in government/defense missions onto that same infrastructure. Communications. Sensing. Radiolocation. Potential PNT/ISR. ✅ SOVEREIGN CONNECTIVITY AND SENSING ✅ AST is already an SDA subcontractor under an active prime contract and the orbital demonstration is expected to run into 2027. 🔥DEFENSE IS NOT PRICED IN cc: @jusbar23

🚨🚨 NEVER EVER USE MARGIN OR OPTIONS AS YOUR PRIMARY ALLOCATION ON HIGH BETA STOCKS It's only a matter of when, not if, you end up in financial ruin. I have and will continue to remind people of the dangers of leverage. Unfortunately I continue to hear sad stories of people nuking their accounts and hard earned savings.
