- This contract enables AST SpaceMobile to compete for future task orders across research, development, engineering, prototyping, and operations of critical Missile Defense Agency systems.
- The award validates the company's unique on-orbit, dual-use technology for both communications and non-communications applications and highlights growing government interest in resilient, dual-use Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations for national defense.
- AST SpaceMobile shares surged after the December 2025 launch of BlueBird 6, which delivers broadband to unmodified smartphones and supports a plan for 45–60 satellite launches by late 2026.
- The company was named a prime contract awardee for the U.S. Missile Defense Agency’s Shield contract, positioning it to bid on R&D and operational services for the Golden Dome missile defense effort.
- Market enthusiasm was reinforced by a TradePulse Power Inflow trading signal and analysts, including Bank of America, raising price targets to $100.
- Despite these developments, AST SpaceMobile remains unprofitable, reporting $4.4 million in recent revenue against Q3 2025 operating expenses of $94.41 million, highlighting significant cash burn and capital spending.
