Astranis

Astranis designs, manufactures, and operates small, dedicated geostationary communications satellites known as MicroGEO. Each spacecraft uses radiation-hardened digital payload technology to deliver dedicated broadband capacity to specific countries, telecom operators, enterprise users, and the U.S. government. Astranis is a satellite operator and manufacturer rather than an API provider; it does not publish a public developer API.

Astranis is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Aerospace, Satellite Communications, Geostationary Orbit, MicroGEO, and Broadband.

Astranis’ developer surface includes engineering blog, YouTube channel, authentication, and 7 more developer resources.
