Astranis is building dedicated, low-cost communications satellites to connect the four billion people who lack reliable, affordable internet access.
Each Astranis spacecraft operates from geostationary orbit (GEO) with a next-generation design of only 400 kg, utilizing a proprietary software-defined radio payload. This allows Astranis to provide dedicated satellites to small and medium-sized countries, Fortune 1000 companies, and other customers, as well as the US Government for national security applications.
Astranis has successfully launched a test satellite into orbit and is now underway with its five commercial programs. The company is headquartered in San Francisco and has raised over $400M from top global investors, with a team of over 300 world-class engineers.
Astranis, a company with an alternative approach to providing internet access from satellites, announced a deal that would bring broadband to millions of people in Peru.
"Astranis, a San Francisco-based company with an alternative approach to providing internet access from satellites, closed new funding to ramp up production."
In our first ever vlog we follow our Mechanical Integration team as they prepare Arcturus, our Alaska satellite for Pacific Dataport, for its upcoming launch on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy.
"Elon Musk’s Starlink is getting some competition from small, cheap satellites that are going into orbit 22,236 miles over Earth."
There are 4 billion people without internet access. We’re going to fix that problem, 1 satellite at a time.
In our business if you are doing things right — if you are building advanced space technology — it is only a matter of time until the US Department of Defense comes knocking on your door asking for your help. You can either say yes, or you can say no.
Small GEO satellite operator Astranis sees an opportunity to break into the defense market as the military seeks to diversify its communications architecture.
