Mission Details
Astranis Block 3 Mission
A SpaceX Falcon 9 will launch 5 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 five satellites, two will be leased to Apco Networks to provide internet connectivity to Mexico, one will provide broadband to some of the most remote and unconnected areas in Asia for Thaicom, one will be for Chunghwa Telecom from Taiwan, and the final satellite will provide connection to the Philippines through Orbits Corp.
