Astranis Seeks US Market Access for Broadband Satellites

Astranis Space Technologies' Spacing Guild U.K. subsidiary wants U.S. market access for its AstranisAero West and East satellites, to orbit nominally at 83 degrees west. In two FCC International Bureau applications Tuesday, it said the small geosationary orbit satellites flagged by the U.K. would be used to provide broadband connectivity in the continental U.S. and Caribbean using the Ku band starting in mid 2023.
