🌍 At the World Space Business Week in Paris, our President Scott Wisniewski joined a panel on Direct-to-Device Satellites. Scott highlighted our MNO-first approach and comprehensive spectrum strategy: “Having a large aperture in low Earth orbit lets us handle more frequencies, balance cellular and MSS strategies, manage multiple frequencies within the same beam, and deliver as much service as possible. We don’t require a new device — it’s about enabling a full offering with flexible technology and spectrum strategy through an ecosystem approach.” 🚀 With the largest commercial phased-array satellites in LEO, flexible technology, and strong MNO partnerships, and we are building the future of global connectivity. #WSBW #Satellite #Connectivity #D2D #ASTSpaceMobile

I came away from $ASTS earnings more bullish because the business is moving to actually building the network with revenue roughly doubling sequentially to $32M, backlog reaching ~$1.3B, 13 satellites now in orbit and production already extending through BlueBird 46. With more than $3.7B of liquidity, financing the first phase looks much less risky while the bigger execution question is how quickly ~$610M of quarterly capex can turn satellites, launches, manufacturing and gateways into a functioning commercial network. That spending is what eventually unlocks the model because AST is effectively building a cellular network before turning it on and if service launches on schedule then management’s path toward ~$1B of revenue in the first full year starts to look much more realistic..

Excited to announce UtilitySat, the world’s first multi-mission geostationary satellite, that we're launching at the end of this year. This is a first of its kind. And a new product line-- providing on-demand connectivity for disaster relief, bridge capacity, and other missions. We started Astranis to build something new: small communications satellites that provide dedicated broadband capacity for our customers. At the end of this year we’re launching four more of them on a dedicated Falcon 9 rocket, with many more to come after that. That launch of four satellites includes one satellite for Peru, two satellites for in-flight connectivity, and a fourth satellite that had been previously kept under wraps. Until now. Introducing UtilitySat, the Swiss Army Knife of satellites This is a new product— the world’s first multi-mission commercial GEO satellite, capable of conducting multiple fully-operational broadband connectivity missions. And it is just the first of many. We’ll plan to launch many UtilitySats in the years to come. UtilitySat can provide connectivity on standard Ku, Ka, and Q/V bands, and has the flexibility to dial in exact frequencies using Astranis’s proprietary ultra-wideband software-defined radio. It can also relocate dozens of times around the GEO belt over its lifetime. It does this using our unique on-board dual-propulsion architecture, which includes both a chemical monopropellant system and an electric ion thruster. A new mission every year, or every month When we first began development of UtilitySat almost 2 years ago, we had many different missions in mind. UtilitySat can serve as bridge capacity for a customer that is waiting for a dedicated satellite, as an on-orbit spare, or as extra, surge capacity that can be brought in to supplement the broadband service we’re providing to one of our customers. There are acute needs as well — a natural disaster can wipe out terrestrial connectivity over a huge geographic area. One of the top priorities for first responders and during disaster relief is reliable comms on the ground. With multiple UtilitySats on orbit, Astranis can bring in extra capacity on incredibly short notice. Capacity that is compatible with existing, low-cost GEO ground terminals. In initial conversations with customers for UtilitySat, we’ve seen huge demand — these customers often want to lease the entire capacity of the satellite once they learn what UtilitySat can offer. Customers need all the capacity they can get, and new capacity that can be deployed on short notice is a huge deal and a huge departure from traditional GEO satellites. We see a future where customers will be able to call up extra capacity on demand to augment their existing capacity needs, and we’re making that future a reality. US Government applications The first UtilitySat mission will be a commercial one, but we are seeing enormous demand from both from commercial companies and from our government customers. The US Government has unique needs — Combatant Commanders need to be able to task dedicated satellites to specific AORs at a moment’s notice — and surge communications would give them a new tool in their toolbox, helping them win even in a contested environment. And more broadly speaking our military leaders have said the one priority in national security space is to add resiliency to our fleets, using larger numbers of smaller, flexible, and maneuverable satellites so we’re not dependent on just a handful of huge satellites in GEO. UtilitySat shows that Astranis can do just that. Not traditional GEO satellites UtilitySat is only possible because of Astranis’s unique technology — including our proprietary software–defined radio. The flexibility of having on-board digital signal processing allows us to build a standardized satellite design, and move a lot of what used to be done in hardware, into software. UtilitySat uses the standard Astranis MicroGEO platform, adding more frequency bands and some new software capabilities to make maximum use of the available spectrum, no matter where the satellite is on orbit. Traditional geostationary satellites are designed to sit in one orbital slot for up to 20 years, with a set of frequency bands that is hardwired in at the factory. Their single mission must be predetermined many years before they are launched. Astranis does not build traditional GEO satellites. From day one we knew there had to be a better way, and we’re doing it.

$RKLB just posted record $2.36B of backlog and more than $1B of new launch and Space Systems contracts showing the business underneath Neutron is already scaling across rockets, satellites and components. CEO Peter Beck says “the window for an end year launch is narrowing” because Rocket Lab would rather qualify Neutron for reusability and high cadence than rush Flight 1 since the real moat comes from making medium-lift launch repeatable instead of simply proving it can fly once. If Rocket Lab gets that right then Neutron becomes the missing piece in a full-stack space platform that can design satellites, manufacture key components, build spacecraft, launch and operate constellations and eventually layer on recurring communications revenue through Iridium.

We have 6 different models of CNC machines already designed and validated for production but we would need crores to scale up production and offer it to other manufacturers. Hence, we only build machines for our own production facility. Capital is a bottleneck for us. Currently we just have a tiny space within our own factory which is our R&D lab. We are a team of mere three people. Scaling hardware isn’t easy but it’s something that must be done for us to truly be self-reliant. Really appreciate your efforts Sridhar Vembu to build these hardware tools here. We must build more factories and hardware products in the country. Long way to go before I sleep.

Three and a half years ago, Neel Kunjur and I decided to go from being Brothers, to being Co-Founders. Today, we’re excited to announce that K2 Space Corporation has raised a $250M Series C at a $3B valuation. This round comes on the heels of $500M in signed contracts across commercial and US Government customers. Our Series C is being led by Redpoint, with participation from T. Rowe Price, Hedosophia, Altimeter Capital, Lightspeed, Alpine Space Ventures and many others. We’re fortunate to be building at a unique time - launch vehicles are getting larger and the frequency of launch is increasing. When it comes to satellites, it’s now possible to Build Bigger, and we intend to be on the vanguard of doing just that. Building Bigger allows us to deliver a step change in power (20kW today, 100kW tomorrow), reliability, and redundancy. Our satellites are designed to deliver the maximum amount of capability wherever that capability is needed (LEO, MEO, GEO, cislunar space and beyond). Coming up next - 20kW satellite launch early 2026, three satellites launched early 2027, and many more to come after that as we scale up production in our 180k sq ft factory in Torrance, CA. We’re looking forward to sharing more on our progress over the coming months and years. -

Three and a half years ago, Neel Kunjur and I decided to go from being Brothers, to being Co-Founders. Today, we’re excited to announce that K2 Space Corporation has raised a $250M Series C at a $3B valuation.

We’re excited to share that Pixxel has raised $100M in Series C funding, led by Temasek and Seraphim Space, to build the infrastructure for a changing planet. 🌏 Seven years ago, we started Pixxel with the belief that seeing Earth differently could help us make better decisions for it through our fleet of hyperspectral satellites. Today, that ambition is growing into something much larger. This funding will accelerate our expansion into new sensing technologies, more powerful Earth intelligence software, and robust sovereign space systems as we build planetary infrastructure for what comes next. A new chapter for Pixxel, and we’re just getting started! 🚀

Safeguarding critical infrastructure and public spaces has never been more complex. As unmanned aerial systems (UAS) evolve, the technologies designed to detect and mitigate them must advance just as rapidly. The team at Palladion Systems developed a print-in-place counter-UAV system using Formlabs SLS 3D printing. Manufactured as a single build with deployable arms integrated directly into the design, this system showcases the true potential of agile manufacturing. From the prototyping stage to end-use applications. Relevant information for large-scale SLS 3D Printing: More information related to Palladion Systems:
