Elon Musk’s SpaceX revealed it successfully launched AST SpaceMobile’s new batch of BlueBird satellites from Florida. After this announcement, SPCX shares rose in pre-market trading on Wednesday.

SpaceX Successfully Deploys All Bluebird Satellites

SpaceX wrote on X, “Deployment of all three BlueBird satellites confirmed.” This revelation came after the company filed with the SEC to make its X account the official disclosure channel to post regular updates. The company went public on June 12 and has now ramped up its operations.

For context, the BlueBird 8-10 mission lifted off aboard a Falcon 9 rocket at 2:39 a.m. ET on June 17 from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The satellites are a component of AST SpaceMobile’s goal of advancing a space-based cellular broadband network.

SpaceX also accomplished another milestone for reusables. The first-stage booster of the Falcon 9 flew its 29th mission. The booster had previously powered a number of important missions, such as Crew-5, GPS III Space Vehicle 06, Inmarsat I6-F2, CRS-28, NG-20, TD7 and 21 Starlink.

After separating from the stage the booster made a successful landing on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship in the Atlantic Ocean where it was recovered for future missions.

SPCX Stock Reaction

The launch boosted the shares of Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SPCX) on Wednesday. The SPCX stock moved slightly higher to $207.81 in pre-market trading today, up 2.98%.

Moreover, the SpaceX stock previously closed at $201.80, up 4.83% on Tuesday, June 16. However, it declined significantly from its intraday high of $225.64, which even pushed it beyond Amazon and Microsoft in valuation.

The stock traded between $195.13 and $225.64 per share on Tuesday, continuing its impressive rally since Friday’s IPO. This surge pushed Elon Musk’s net worth past $1.4 trillion, which is more than the entire Bitcoin market cap.
