$ASTS | @AST_SpaceMobile | Blacklift Unveiling Event | @AbelAvellan | Transcript | 2 We do everything. 95% of every part that is used on the satellite, we build it ourselves. And this is the location where we take the satellite for final stages, ship it, and take it back to the launch site. So we can test, vibrate, vacuum test. We can do every step that is required to take these things to space. We can do it out of these buildings. We have 12 of them. A lot of people ask me, why are you in Midland? Because in Midland, we can build buildings very, very fast. We can do it in two months, when in certain states, you need a couple of years to do anything. We build these buildings, and then we ask permission later. So that's how we do it. That's why we're in Midland. I mean, some people ask why we are in the Wild West, and that's the reason. So, again, 12 buildings. Everything to build, integrate, and test. Our scientists and engineers are not in Midland. They are in D.C., they are in Seattle, they're in Dallas. They're all around the country. Midland is our integration and test location. That's where we put everything, test it, and then ship it for launch. So, Carolina, can you walk down? Okay, we're going to work. So this area, we have, well, first of all, we have 14, 15, and 16. It is in the cave, ready to launch. This is satellite 18, ready to launch. That's what you see there. Stop there, Carolina, if you can. That is this tuna can here. That's where the phase arrays go. That's 19. You can see that's what it holds, what it deploys in space, which is the phase array. But that's also what we have, all the systems to control, manage, and operate the satellites. This is satellite 20, also ready to go. You can see it from there. Those antennas, this little thing here, it will connect down to the ground and allow us to connect to the operators, to AT&T, to Verizon, to a new one hopefully coming very soon. To all the operators in Europe, with a new one also that I think you're going to like. And to our friends from Japan, they just gave us a billion dollars to build more of these. Arigato, Osana. So that's to our U.S. government. I mean, I think you're going to like what we're doing with them and how we're keeping this nation safer with what we're doing with these satellites. And so we are on satellite 20. Karina, can you keep moving? Here we have satellite 20 to 28. We're getting completed. What is in the left is where we prepare the electronics that goes into them. And this is 21 to 28. And this is 28. So as a reminder, we don't need thousands of satellites. We need hundreds of satellites. With satellite 28, we're in beta service in the United States, Europe, Japan, Saudi Arabia, and Canada. So that's what it put us into beta. That's from with 25 satellites. So that satellite right there is a milestone. It's getting to beta in the initial markets. You will ask why those markets without the people that invested with us at the beginning. United States, Europe, Japan, Saudi Arabia, and Canada. So this thing here is what it takes us to beta service. But we're obviously not stopping there. We're on satellite 51. Let's move to this thing. It is, by the way, very similar to the tank of a rocket. But this is where we test satellite 51 to 29 are passing through this tool. We have two of these tools. And this is where we compress the satellite. When you're going up, you have five satellites on top of you. Then you have four satellites on top of you. Roughly, let's call it five tons per satellite. You have 20 tons. But now you're going with the acceleration of the rocket at 10 times the G. So that 20 tons become 200 tons. So we need to test. I'm sure you remember how difficult it was for us to be producing this structure at a rate, at a pace. Well, because this thing is very hard. You need to... 20 tons times 10 is 200 tons. That's the weight of the Statue of Liberty.
