Astranis plans to launch the Arcturus satellite on a SpaceX Falcon 9 in early 2022.
The 400-kilogram Astranis-built Arcturus satellite reached geostationary orbit over Alaska.
Astranis launched its first satellite, Arcturus, to geostationary orbit (GEO) on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket.
Astranis launched its debut small GEO satellite Arcturus on 2023-04-30.
Astranis launched its debut satellite Arcturus on 2024-04-30 as a secondary payload on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy carrying the 6,400-kilogram ViaSat-3 broadband satellite.
UtilitySat is a previously undisclosed Block 2 satellite that can serve as a partial replacement for Arcturus until a dedicated Pacific Dataport satellite can be launched in 2025.
Arcturus was designed to provide 7.5 gigabits per second of throughput in Ka-band.
