Small geostationary satellite builder providing dedicated broadband and military communications
Astranis builds smaller (350 kg), faster-to-launch geostationary communications satellites — a fraction of the cost of traditional GEO sats while serving the same orbital slots. First commercial launch (Arcturus) deployed in April 2023 over Alaska. Backed by Andreessen Horowitz and Founders Fund. Series D in Sep 2024 valued the company at $1.9B and added $200M from a16z Growth + BAM Elevate.
