AST SpaceMobile books 10 launches across two providers
As the brief logged it
SpaceNews (Jeff Foust, 2026-08-16T23:05Z): AST President Scott Wisniewski says 9 more launches are needed to complete the 45-satellite Block 2 constellation by "early 2027," with Vulcan under active consideration as a backup provider — the first named non-SpaceX/non-Blue-Origin hedge disclosed for AST's own manifest. No dollar figures; below the push bar on its own but useful color for launch-supply planning.
