SPACEMOBILE (ASTS) ALERT: Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. is Investigating AST SpaceMobile, Inc. on Behalf of Long-Term Stockholders and Encourages Investors to Contact the Firm
GlobeNewswire News Room· 2025-08-06 23:59
Core Viewpoint - Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. is investigating potential claims against AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASTS) on behalf of long-term stockholders due to a class action complaint filed against the company, alleging breaches of fiduciary duties by the board of directors [2][5]. Group 1: Company Performance and Issues - On April 1, 2024, SpaceMobile announced that the production of five Block 1 BlueBird satellites was delayed due to issues with two suppliers, pushing the expected launch from the first quarter of 2024 to between July and August 2024 [3]. - Following this announcement, SpaceMobile's stock price dropped by $0.62, or 23.6%, closing at $2.01 per share on April 2, 2024, with unusually high trading volume [4]. Group 2: Legal Actions and Allegations - The class action complaint alleges that during the class period from November 14, 2023, to April 1, 2024, SpaceMobile's executives made materially false and misleading statements regarding the company's business and operations, failing to disclose significant production issues with the Block 1 BlueBird satellites [5]. - The complaint specifically states that the defendants did not inform investors about the negative impact on production from suppliers, the incomplete status of the satellites, and the resulting delay in the launch schedule, which rendered previous positive statements misleading [5].
外媒:马斯克的星链干扰低频射电天文观测 问题日益严峻
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-07-31 09:59
【CNMO科技消息】据海外媒体报道,一项最新研究揭示,SpaceX的星链(Starlink)卫星网络正对射 电天文学构成显著干扰。发表于《天文学与天体物理学》期刊的论文指出,在最严重的情况下,星链卫 星产生的噪声影响了高达30%的低频射电天文图像,严重制约了相关科学研究。 尽管星链目前并未违反现有国际法规,且研究团队表示已与SpaceX展开建设性对话以寻求缓解方案, 但问题的复杂性不容忽视。过去,天文学家可通过错开卫星过境时间来安排观测,但随着星链卫星数量 持续增加,这一策略愈发困难。目前,国际天文学联合会下属的"暗静天空保护中心"等机构已开发出卫 星轨迹追踪工具,帮助天文台优化观测窗口。 专家强调,虽然当前干扰尚未导致射电天文学"崩溃",但随着星链星座不断扩容,以及未来可能出现的 其他类似巨型卫星群,问题将日益严峻。星链若持续成功运营,可能激发更多商业公司部署同类系统, 形成"卫星蜂群"叠加效应,进一步压缩地面天文观测的空间。 该研究分析了数千万张天文图像,发现星链卫星并非通过主动发射信号造成干扰,而是其星载电子设备 产生的被动电磁噪声。这种噪声难以预测,且在不同数据集中表现出波动性,使得科学家难以通过常规 ...
