description: 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.
