Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin blasts customer’s satellite into wrong place
Jeff Bezos’ space tech company Blue Origin placed a customer’s satellite in the wrong orbit on Sunday, sending that firm’s stock tumbling Monday.
Shares of Nasdaq-listed AST SpaceMobile fell nearly 12% in premarket trading and were down roughly 8% from Friday’s close as of mid-day Monday.
Blue Origin launched the “BlueBird 7” satellite from its Cape Canaveral, Fla., area site aboard its New Glenn rocket — but the satellite wasn’t hurled high enough, according to AST SpaceMobile.
“BlueBird 7 was placed into a lower than planned orbit by the upper stage of the launch vehicle,” the company said in a statement. “While the satellite separated from the launch vehicle and powered on, the altitude is too low to sustain operations with its on-board thruster technology and will de-orbited.”
