Astranis is so cracked. Started by two young guys and now launching telecom satellites into orbit and valued over $1B. Diana and I love this stuff, so when we got the chance to tour their satellite factory, we had to go.

It literally started in John and Ryan's apartment in SF. Yes, it turns out you can build a satellite in your apartment.

Then they upgraded to a "cleanish room", a make-shift clean room built out of PVC piping and shower curtains.

This is their operation today. This is the inside of a real, modern satellite factory.

And of course they have a lot of cool toys, like these shaker tables.

And these huge thermal vacuum chambers.

The full walk-through and story is on YouTube:

@ycombinator @sdianahu Best office and tour in SF

@sdianahu Living proof that SF can actually be a manufacturing town

@sdianahu Wow amazing. To be honest, I always considered satellites to be basically floating sbcs with solar cells and antennas. Serious question: Could you turn a raspberry pi into a viable satellite, if not what would be the biggest challenge?

@ycombinator @sdianahu wow . now that's awesome .
