Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events [Text Block]	20. Subsequent Events On February 3, 2023, AST LLC entered into a Launch Services Agreement (the “2023 Launch Agreement”) with Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (“SpaceX”) relating to the launch of the first five Block 1 BB satellites. The 2023 Launch Agreement superseded both the March 3, 2022 Multi-Launch Agreement and the March 3, 2022 BlueBird 1 Launch Services Agreement between the parties. The exact timing of the launch, which is expected to carry five Block 1 BB satellites, is contingent on a number of factors, including satisfactory and timely completion of construction and testing of the five Block 1 BB satellites and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control.
