NASDAQ:ASTS 8 December 2025 - 24 December 2025

AST SpaceMobile shares closed at $85.66, down 0.95% Tuesday, then rose to around $87 in after-hours trading. The company’s BlueBird 6 satellite is set to launch at 10:24 p.m. ET from India’s Satish Dhawan Space Centre. The mission will use an Indian LVM3 rocket and carries the heaviest payload yet for that vehicle. Trading remains volatile ahead of Wednesday’s shortened U.S. session.

AST SpaceMobile shares closed at $75.84 on Dec. 19, up 15% after heavy trading ahead of the planned launch of its BlueBird 6 satellite.

BlueBird 6 features a 2,400-square-foot phased array, triple the size of earlier models, and is designed to boost data capacity tenfold.

AST SpaceMobile shares fell 9.5% to $76.70 on Dec. 12 after a volatile week, despite finishing up 3–4% from Monday.

AST SpaceMobile shares fell 10.6% to $75.73 on December 12 amid heavy trading, as investors reacted to news that the BlueBird 6 satellite launch had slipped from December 15 to at least December 20, according to industry trackers. The delay comes as Wall Street debates the company’s valuation and execution risks ahead of the high-profile mission.

AST SpaceMobile shares traded near $73.37 on December 9, 2025, up over 200% year-to-date but well below the 12-month high of $102.79.
