The offices are located in the new Space Park Leicester complex, a £100 million research, innovation and manufacturing hub for space-related high-tech companies and researchers in Leicester, England.

“Our Space Park Leicester office will have business development, engineering and regulatory team members working to support the progress and manufacturing of critical subsystems for the SpaceMobile Constellation,” said Steve Gibson, Managing Director of AST SpaceMobile UK.

“The University has a well-established record in applying satellite technology and space-derived data to solve real-world problems,” said Will Wells, Commercial Director at the University of Leicester. “We are delighted that AST Space Mobile has chosen Space Park Leicester as the base for their exciting plans.”

In addition to the UK, the company operates from other global locations including a corporate headquarters and 85,000 square-foot satellite assembly, integrating and testing facility in Midland, Texas, as well as operations in College Park, Maryland, Spain and Israel.
