We are excited to announce today our new partnership with Orbith, a fast-growing, Latin American Internet Service Provider, to provide a dedicated MicroGEO communications satellite for Argentina.
This deal is an exciting opportunity in a country that has proven its openness to disruptive technologies and ideas. This new partnership with Orbith is a great opportunity to expand our services to another fast-growing market, and to work with a local partner who deeply understands the communications needs of the Argentinian people.
Orbith today provides a variety of communications services for customers across Latin America: from hospitals, to schools, to businesses, to consumers and beyond. Their growing foothold in the market has been built on the back of fractional capacity rentals from the existing large players — but both availability and price have held them back from expanding their footprint in countries like Argentina.
My partner, Orbith's CEO Pablo Mosiul, had this to say about the new program: “This dedicated MicroGEO communications satellite from Astranis will be a massive accelerator for our plans in Argentina. Having a satellite specifically tailored to our needs, and to the demand that we see from our customers in the country, is a massive competitive advantage that will help us expand our coverage across the country.”
The Orbith satellite will launch in 2025 as part of Astranis’s third launch. With this program, Astranis’s next two full launches of MicroGEO satellites are sold and spoken for.
Astranis has raised a $200 million Series D, led by a16z Growth Fund and co-led by BAM Elevate. This brings our total capital raised to $750 million, and gets us one step closer to launching 100 MicroGEO satellites by 2030 — and connecting millions to affordable internet.

Matt spent 13 years scaling Palantir from 100 employees to over 3,000 -- and a $50 billion valuation.
Pound-for-pound the most powerful communications satellite ever for GEO
Our tenth MicroGEO satellite announced, for a global leader in satellite telecommunications.
Astranis is launching another satellite for the Philippines
Astranis has sold two satellites to a local ISP in Mexico, which can connect up to five million people
Astranis has signed a new contract with a trusted partner of the national security space community to demonstrate secure end-to-end communications using the Arcturus satellite
Astranis's second product is UtilitySat. It's the Swiss Army Knife of satellites, and something our industry has never seen before: a multi-mission commercial GEO satellite, capable of conducting multiple fully-operational broadband connectivity missions.
We're building the first-ever broadband internet satellite dedicated to the Philippines. 2 million people, 5000 rural communities, 1 MicroGEO.
