Astranis signed a contract with SpaceX for another Falcon 9 launch to deploy five additional MicroGEO satellites later this year, Astranis announced Jan. 27.
The satellites are set to provide broadband data services worldwide, for Astranis customers including Thaicom in Thailand and APCO in Mexico, aiming to connect millions of people to the internet. The new satellites will join Astranis’ fleet in Geostationary Orbit (GEO).
Astranis previously launched four MicroGEO satellites on a dedicated Falcon 9 launch in December 2024. The satellites have completed initial commissioning and begun their orbit raise to GEO. Astranis reports the satellites will enter into service in the summer.
Astranis CEO John Gedmark commented: “We continue to push the boundaries on new technology for high orbits, both for our upcoming Omega satellites and for new defense programs with the U.S. Government including Resilient GPS.”
