<p>藍色起源成功將 AST SpaceMobile 的衞星發射入軌，但高度不正確</p>
<p>AST SpaceMobile 的 BlueBird 7 衞星於 4 月 20 日由藍色起源的 New Glenn 火箭送入低地球軌道。AST SpaceMobile 計劃在 2026 年平均每&#34;一到兩個月&#34;進行一次軌道發射。</p>
<p>週一早上，AST SpaceMobile 的股價下跌，因為藍色起源發射的衞星被視為失敗，這可能會對該公司提供衞星互聯網服務的計劃造成挫折。</p>
<p>週日，一枚搭載 AST SpaceMobile（ASTS）BlueBird 7 衞星的 New Glenn 火箭從佛羅里達州的卡納維拉爾角發射。儘管衞星成功進入軌道，但藍色起源的上級火箭未能將其送至正確的高度，這意味着它未能完成任務。</p>
<p>&#34;雖然衞星與發射載具分離並啓動，但高度過低，無法利用其機載推進器技術維持操作，將會被去軌，&#34; AST SpaceMobile 在一份聲明中表示。</p>
<p>AST SpaceMobile 的股價在最近的早盤交易中下跌了 11.1%。藍色起源是一家由亞馬遜（AMZN）創始人兼董事會主席傑夫·貝索斯創辦的私人公司。</p>
<p>AST SpaceMobile 表示，得益於公司的保險，衞星的成本預計將得到補償。然而，失去衞星可能會減緩公司在與 SpaceX 和亞馬遜競爭時的步伐。</p>
<p>BlueBird 7 是 AST SpaceMobile 計劃在年底前向低地球軌道發射約 45 顆衞星的重要組成部分。它計劃在大約 30 天內準備好另外三顆衞星，並在 2026 年平均每&#34;一到兩個月&#34;進行一次軌道發射。</p>
<p>未來與藍色起源的任務可能一次性將多達八顆衞星送入軌道。</p>
<p>&#34;我們預計在推進我們的軌道發射計劃時，充分利用 New Glenn 的有效載荷能力，&#34; AST SpaceMobile 首席執行官阿貝爾·阿維蘭在上個月的財報電話會議中表示。</p>
<p>根據公司數據，45 到 60 顆衞星將是實現美國和日本等特定市場持續衞星互聯網覆蓋所需的數量。全球覆蓋需要 90 顆衞星。AST SpaceMobile 計劃在下半年開始商業服務。</p>
<p>亞馬遜在其自己的衞星計劃上也落後。它面臨着在 7 月之前將其第一代衞星系統的 3,232 顆航天器中的一半發射到低地球軌道的截止日期，但目前僅有 239 顆衞星在軌。上週，它宣佈計劃收購一家由蘋果（AAPL）支持的公司，以幫助其競爭。</p>

<p>該交易使分析師推測，AST SpaceMobile 可能會尋求收購一家擁有有價值頻譜許可證的公司，例如 ViaSat（VSAT）。德意志銀行的一位分析師還建議，AST SpaceMobile 可能成為尋求提供直接到設備服務的大型公司的收購目標。</p>
<p>亞馬遜和 AST SpaceMobile 都落後於 SpaceX，後者已向低地球軌道發射了超過 10,000 顆衞星，以支持其 Starlink 服務。該公司正在瞄準一項潛在的重磅首次公開募股，可能會引起更多對太空行業的關注。</p>
<p>對於 AST SpaceMobile 來説，週日的發射是一次失敗，但對於貝索斯擁有的藍色起源來説，情況看起來稍微樂觀一些。儘管未能將客户的有效載荷送至正確的軌道，但藍色起源成功回收了&#34;Never Tell Me The Odds&#34;助推器，並將其在大西洋的駁船上着陸。</p>
<p>這是藍色起源第三次發射 New Glenn 火箭，也是首次嘗試回收其助推器。該公司此前已成功着陸並回收了用於短途太空旅遊的較小 New Shepard 載具的助推器。但 New Glenn 是一種更大的載具，飛行高度更高，速度更快。</p>
<p>閲讀：隨着 SpaceX 衝向創紀錄的首次公開募股，太空投資正在升温</p>
<p>藍色起源已與多家公司簽訂合同，包括 AST SpaceMobile，以將其有效載荷發射入軌。亞馬遜預計到 2028 年將為衞星發射和相關服務向藍色起源支付約 27 億美元。</p>
<p>即使在週一的下跌中，AST SpaceMobile 的股價在過去 12 個月中仍上漲了 225%。相比之下，亞馬遜的股價在過去 12 個月中上漲了 44.3%，標準普爾 500 指數 SPX 上漲了 4%。</p>

<p>AST SpaceMobile 的股票在 Blue Origin 未能成功發射其 BlueBird 7 衞星並達到錯誤高度後下跌了 11.1%。儘管遭遇挫折，AST SpaceMobile 計劃在年底前發射 45 顆衞星，並目標在 2026 年底提供商業服務。該公司已投保以彌補失去衞星的成本。過去一年，AST SpaceMobile 的股票上漲了 225%，而亞馬遜的股票上漲了 44.3%</p>
