NG-3 Update: We have confirmed payload separation. AST SpaceMobile has confirmed the satellite has powered on. The payload was placed into an off-nominal orbit. We are currently assessing and will update when we have more detailed information.

@blueorigin How much money is that going to cost $ASTS if it’s non operational?

@realstockfox @blueorigin Payloads are insured. The larger loss is the delay.

@StatisticalMind @realstockfox @blueorigin Insurance is not free. The cost is based on the likelihood of payout and past history. It could take years for the insurance industry to forgive this incident.
