AST SpaceMobile’s Block 2 BlueBird satellites are designed to deliver up to 10 times the bandwidth capacity of the BlueBird Block 1 satellites, required to achieve 24/7 continuous cellular broadband service coverage in the United States, with beams designed to support a capacity of up to 40 MHz, enabling peak data transmission speeds up to 120 Mbps, supporting voice, full data and video applications. The Block 2 BlueBirds, featuring as large as 2400 square foot communications arrays, will be the largest satellites ever commercially deployed in Low Earth orbit once launched. This launch will feature 3 satellites.
Target orbit: Low Earth Orbit
Possible visibility from Bermuda, conditions permitting.
Face west (258.7758149987145°) and sweep along the trajectory. Start scanning the sky about six minutes after liftoff.
Sweep order (approximate)
You are standing at the amber dot in the middle. The solid cyan arrow is where to aim your eyes — roughly where the rocket will appear highest in the sky. The dotted cyan arc traces the rocket's motion across the sky, with the arrow showing which way it travels.
Lighting note
At night, look for the faint glow of the exhaust plume rather than the rocket itself. Let your eyes adjust for several minutes before liftoff, and avoid looking at phone screens.

The rocket rises low in the SW, arcs across the sky toward W, and fades in the WNW when engines cut out. Under clear skies and with minimal light pollution, the rocket plume is typically visible as a slow-moving bright star between these times.
Times assume on-time liftoff. Add ~30–90 sec uncertainty for typical per-mission timing variance; launch delays move the whole window.
