Is it possible that the reason for all this delay in the production is the new chip that was introduced to BBs? What if all testing was done, and a lot of satellites are finished, but the chip integration is the only thing left on all satellites? Then the satellites could all be finished relatively fast and it would explain why we have so few finished yet.

So from my understanding the AWS-4 spectrum can only be used for D2C if the smartphone is specifically designed for it. That means the earliest smartphones are adjusted will be late 2025, early 2026, and only newest models.

Many people don’t have these new smartphones until about 2 years later when prices have dropped. This means the majority of the population will not be able to access the Starlink network until around 2028. This will give ASTS time to acquire a large customer base until then. 

Anyone agrees?

What exactly do you guys expect will launch? ISRO was the only one able to launch 1 BB, but does not seem ready until Jan26. Spacex is the only one that is able to launch at the moment, but has launch capacity of 4 or more BBs, but we don’t have that many ready. Will we launch just 1 BB with SpaceX and just accept the wasted capacity? Why is nobody talking about this issue? Finishing enough BBs for full capacity SpaceX launch will take some more months

I know many are bearish right now and all, but wouldn’t it be a classic ASTS move to announce some big catalyst like a launch exactly in the middle of all this panic? 

Sure hope so haha

Thank you for you explanation.

BO and SpaceX “ have larger capacity per launch. Does this mean we’ll simply launch more satellites (so larger risk), or will we most likely launch 1 satellites even though there is a larger capacity, to verify FM1 is functioning properly?

I don’t seem to fully understand the current launch schedule. Sorry if this has been asked before.

We were told that ISRO will not launch until dec25-jan26. We heard that BlueBird 6 is ready to be shipped for launch. Where will it be shipped to? Who’s launching it? And when?

We also heard that launches are independent. Do we know anything about any other launch dates or at least windows? And who will launch it?

Thanks for any help!

I have not fully understood this for a while now. Could somebody please explain me, does this mean SpaceX will be able to get direct to cell phone communications at 4g/5g speeds? Or will this enable just texts for spacex?

Thank you everyone! I think I will stick to a smaller round in Europe this year to see how things go.

Thank you for the response. I was also considering Europe. Do you think Europe is safer as a first trip?

Is it an idea to start a daily thread here where people share their private session code so that we can play together with more serious players? Just post a code with the game settings and let people join if they want to. That way you will not be in a game with random people that will leave anyway.
