AST SpaceMobile's stock rose 8.38% following the US government's public endorsement of its satellite partnership with Japan's Rakuten under a bilateral tech deal. The deal includes a potential $1 billion award from Japan's J-LEO initiative, which could fund about half of the company's satellite investments. Despite ongoing cash burn and missed revenue expectations, the backing from two superpowers and government financing support boosts the company's growth prospects. AST aims to have 45 satellites in orbit by early 2027 and plans to launch beta services later this year.
