Mission Details
Astranis Block 2 Mission
A SpaceX Falcon 9 will launch 4 MicroGEO satellites for Astranis. The satellites are designed to be much smaller than typical GEO sats and are therefore deployed closer to GEO, cutting down on the time between deployment and operation.
Of the four satellites, one will provide broadband access to Peru through Latin American telecom company Groupon Andesat, two will be leased to Anuvu to provide internet connectivity to airplanes and cruise ships, and the final customer’s identity has not been revealed.
