Report: Dangote refinery to begin crude oil production
The Dangote Group says it has achieved its first oil from its upstream assets and is preparing to begin marketable crude production in the coming weeks.
In an interview with Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, Devakumar Edwin, the vice-president of the Dangote Group, said early testing has commenced on crude from its Niger Delta licences.

Now that we have a more complete view, we wanted to provide an update on our NG-3 mission. While we are pleased with the nominal booster recovery, we clearly didn't deliver the mission our customer wanted, and our team expects. Early data suggest that on our second GS2 burn, one of the BE-3U engines didn’t produce sufficient thrust to reach our target orbit. Blue Origin is leading the anomaly investigation with FAA oversight to learn from the data and implement the improvements needed to quickly return to flight operations. We have been in steady communication with the team at AST SpaceMobile, we appreciate their partnership, and we’re looking forward to many flights together.

@A_Sadiq__ Was it Charlie Munger that said no publicity is bad publicity? 😉

$ASTS Incredible that CNBC doesn’t ever have management on its network or covers anything about AST Spacemobile until today when they get to tell everyone that shares are down this morning.
Shady AF if you ask me.

Nailed it Fibby
$ASTS
Difficult barriers to entry allows this company to have a strong moat
$ASTS will still deploy 45 more satellites this year alone.
Pull backs for $ASTS are opportunities
Add on support

$ASTS retail investors discovering that “launching satellites into space” occasionally involves satellites not making it into space is my favorite genre of panic selling. I’m buying today 🤝

$ASTS Loren (Larry) Reed, Spacecraft & Launch Vehicle Engineering, AST SpaceMobile:
** UPDATE Bluebird-7 Satellite Total Loss **
As most have heard by now, the Bluebird-7 Satellite was placed into a lower-than planned orbit due to an issue with the New Glenn upper stage. Contact was established after the satellite powered-on, and engineering data is being obtained.
Unfortunately, the on-board propulsion capability of BB-7 is not sufficient to boost it into a suitable orbit, so rather than allow the current orbit to decay unpredictably the satellite will be deorbited deliberately in a controlled manner.
Although the fault was not with AST, and the cost of the loss will be covered by insurance, this is still a real “gut punch” for the AST’s production, launch, and payload operations teams, as well as the rest of the company. 😢😢
Despite having delivered engineering support and task team leadership for over a hundred shuttle launches over more than two decades, I can truthfully say that I have NEVER worked SO HARD in my entire life as over the past several months getting BB-7 transported to Florida from Texas, put through the complicated process of test and checkout operations, followed by payload fairing encapsulation at Blue Origin. Long stints of 12-hour-plus days at times to meet a demanding launch processing schedule can sure take a lot out of you.
But seeing a spacecraft which YOU and your teammates have poured heart and soul into soar into space is an uplifting experience which makes you forget about all the hard work, sleepless nights, and non-stop frenetic activity it took to make it happen.
However, days like today; with such unexpected bad news coming on the heels of what seemed like a wonderful achievement for both payload and launch provider… well, they remind me of some other dark days from my spaceflight career. Thankfully no lives were lost, and the satellite is insured, but so much hard work and effort on the part of the entire AST team is gone now, and with nothing to show for it.
“The only easy day was yesterday”. As in many other difficult endeavors, that saying from the Navy Seals often holds true in spaceflight as well. 😢😢
But for the AST team my fervent prayer is that after this unexpected shock is recovered from, there will be better days ahead with more and more Bluebird satellites coming off the production line, and hopefully new launch successes ahead. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

$ASTS: Feels like sentiment is the worst it’s been since the stock was at $2.
Let’s put things into perspective. The company lost one satellite (out of an entire constellation) due to a launch provider failure that had nothing to do with them.
And yes, there are production delays. That’s been the story since they went public. I mean, Blue Origin has some of the best engineers in the world and Bezos’ Amex Black card behind them, yet they’re perpetually delayed and still haven’t perfected the tech as proven today.
For me, the biggest core component of my $ASTS thesis is the technology working as promised, and so far the company has delivered above and beyond on that as per 50+ MNOs (and more keep signing on) + the U.S. Government.
Fundamentals are the best they’ve ever been. Balance sheet is the strongest it’s ever been. The constellation is still going up.
We roll.

$ASTS After being encapsulated in the fairing for 2 months waiting, causing a Delay out of our control, @blueorigin Fucked our satellite.
Sucks.

The first stage was nominal, and the booster came back beautifully. We separated and turned on as expected, but the launch vehicle second stage did not place BlueBird 7 on its intended orbit. We are on Satellite 32 and plan to ship BB8 to 10 in approximately 30 days and continue to target ~ 45 satellites in orbit this year.
