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 named "AGILA" will provide broadband access to the Philippines through Orbits Corp, two named "NuView-A and NuView-B" will be leased to Anuvu to provide internet connectivity to airplanes and cruise ships, and the final satellite named "UtilitySat", which will be reconfigurable on orbit, will temporarily provide replacement services for the failed Arcturus satellite.
