AST SpaceMobile Targets Early 2027 Satellite Launch, Seeks $1 Billion
AST SpaceMobile, listed on the Nasdaq, disclosed the plan in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 15, 2026.
- The planned batch totals roughly 45 satellites, expanding AST's phone-linking constellation already in orbit.
- AST intends to raise the $1 billion through a convertible notes sale to investors.
- Both the launch timing and the notes sale appear together in this single SEC filing.
Why it matters: Convertible notes are debt, not equity, and come due whether or not the satellites ever fly.
