Astranis orders Falcon 9 for multi-satellite launch

Posted: Sun, Apr 10, 2022, 12:25 PM ET (1625 GMT)
Astranis has ordered a SpaceX Falcon 9 to launch several of its small GEO satellites. Astranis said Tuesday it purchased the launch for a 2023 mission that will carry four MicroGEO satellites for its customers. A dedicated launch is "a huge de-risker" for the company, said CEO John Gedmark, reducing the uncertainties associated with rideshare. Its first satellite is launching as a rideshare on a Falcon Heavy launch later this year.
