这个 BlueBird 只要 50多颗卫星 就可以组建全球通讯网了，比起 starlink 的 1万多颗，设计方案 不知道优秀到哪里去了，现在 也发射到 第 10 颗了

当然 starlink 抢先占据了市场，这是它的优势。

所以 最后鹿死谁手，大家拭目以待吧

On Wednesday, June 17 at 2:39 a.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched AST SpaceMobile’s BlueBird 8-10 mission to orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

This was the 29th flight for the Falcon 9 first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-5, GPS III Space Vehicle 06, Inmarsat I6-F2, CRS-28, Intelsat G-37, NG-20, TD7, and 21 Starlink missions.

After stage separation, the first stage landed on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

铱星垮了，时隔多年后马斯克的星链上天了，现在又来了个蓝鸟。

九个月就破产？现金仓库失火了？

细节不清楚，大概是入不敷出吧。
