Astronomers fear the new satellite series because of their humongous antenna surface though AST in https://ast-science.com/connecting-the-world-while-protecting-the-skies/ claims they are mitigating the brightness - in any case numerous launches are planned: https://x.com/AST_SpaceMobile/status/2002752882454540649

To be fair, they're pretty new and in both cases they were extremely full!
