Astranis develops and deploys spacecraft for Geostationary Orbit with the goal of providing internet connectivity to the 4 billion people worldwide who currently lack access. The company designs, manufactures, and operates low-cost telecommunications satellites, offering bandwidth-as-a-service to commercial and government customers. This approach allows Astranis to deliver services at a lower cost than traditional providers, making it appealing for reaching untapped markets.

What believers are saying

  • The introduction of the Omega satellite, with its 50 Gbps throughput, positions Astranis as a leader in next-generation satellite communications.
  • Partnerships with entities like the US Department of Defense and international companies like Thaicom highlight Astranis' expanding global footprint and credibility.

What critics are saying

  • The competitive landscape, including major players like Starlink, poses a significant challenge to Astranis' market share.
  • Delays or failures in satellite launches could impact service delivery and financial stability.

What makes Astranis unique
