Astranis
Designs and operates small, radiation-hardened satellites for geostationary and medium Earth orbits, providing dedicated broadband and GPS resilience services.
About
Astranis Space Technologies designs, manufactures, and operates small geostationary (GEO) and medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites from its headquarters at Historic Pier 70 in San Francisco. The company's MicroGEO platform produces radiation-hardened spacecraft weighing a fraction of traditional GEO satellites, using a proprietary software-defined radio payload capable of operating across Ka, Ku, and Q/V bands with up to 7 GHz of simultaneous bandwidth.
The product line includes four satellite variants: Prime, a Ka-band broadband satellite with five units currently on orbit; UtilitySat, a multi-mission reconfigurable satellite capable of relocating between orbital slots; Omega, a next-generation platform delivering 50+ Gbps per satellite scheduled for 2026; and Nexus, a GPS resilience satellite being developed under contract with the U.S. Space Force for a 2028 launch. Astranis sells capacity as bandwidth-as-a-service to telecommunications providers, sovereign nations, and government agencies including the Space Force and NASA. The company has a backlog exceeding $1 billion across 10+ satellites on contract and aims to manufacture 24 spacecraft per year.
