Astranis

Satellite manufacturers offer geostationary spacecraft ranging from several metric tons to a few hundred kilograms, and Astranis is offering one of the smallest at around 350 kg.

Astranis has raised $108,000,000 in equity and debt and has 103 people including contractors and interns.

Astranis develops small geostationary satellites with a spacecraft mass of around 350 kg.

Astranis has raised more than $350,000,000 in total funding following a $90,000,000 debt and equity round in February 2020.

Astranis raised $250,000,000 in a Series C funding round that values the company at $1,400,000,000.

Astranis plans to deploy its MicroGEO smallsats into geostationary orbit (GEO).

Astranis completed a $250,000,000 Series C financing round valuing the company at $1,400,000,000.

Astranis plans to launch the Arcturus satellite on a SpaceX Falcon 9 in early 2022.

Astranis raised $250,000,000 in a Series C funding round on 2021-04-14 that valued the company at $1,400,000,000.

Astranis expected to deliver 7.5 Gbps to Alaska but end-to-end testing indicates it may deliver around 10 Gbps, approximately 20% more than expected.

Astranis is building satellites at around 400 kg, making them among the smallest geostationary communications spacecraft offered commercially.

Astranis' upgraded baseline Ka-band throughput increases from 10 gigabits per second to 12 gigabits per second.

Astranis raised $250,000,000 in April on top of more than $100,000,000 it had already secured to expand production.

Astranis committed over $30,000,000 to start procuring long-lead hardware, confirm delivery dates, and accelerate manufacturing timelines for the four new satellites.

Astranis selected SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy to launch its first commercial satellite in a direct-inject mission to geostationary orbit in spring 2022.

Falcon Heavy is projected to launch the Viasat-3 commercial broadband satellite with an Astranis communications satellite as a secondary payload in 2022.

Anuvu plans an eight-satellite small geostationary-orbit constellation with the first two satellites ordered from Astranis.

Astranis is developing small geostationary satellites that weigh about 400 kg each and are scaled to provide dedicated bandwidth to smaller geographies at lower cost.

Astranis’ first commercial communications satellite, set to provide service for Alaska from geostationary orbit, will launch as a secondary payload on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy direct-inject mission in Spring 2022.

An initial Astranis satellite under the Andesat deal will launch into service in 2023 to become the first satellite dedicated solely to serving the people of Peru.
