AST SpaceMobile has launched its largest satellite, BlueBird 6, from India, marking its first satellite deployment in its low-Earth-orbit constellation. The launch aims to provide direct-to-smartphone connectivity and compete with SpaceX's Starlink. AST currently operates five commercial satellites in orbit and plans to deploy over 60 satellites in 2026. Meanwhile, SpaceX's Starlink has more than 9,400 satellites in orbit and has added a record 21,275 new customers per day. The LEO space industry is expected to see intensified competition in 2026, especially if SpaceX proceeds with an IPO.
