Astranis launched their first commercial satellite into space, marking a significant breakthrough for the aerospace industry with their smaller, low-cost telecom satellites.

Astranis is launching four satellites on a dedicated SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, marking a significant milestone as one of the first companies to secure a dedicated launch for their satellites.

Astranis built their first prototype satellite quickly and successfully showcased it at demo day, which became a key example for new founders on what can be achieved in three months with ambition and hard work.

Astranis successfully launched a nearly entirely 3D-printed rocket, marking a significant milestone in aerospace innovation.

From the beginning, Astranis committed to building a satellite that would work in space, aiming to prove their capabilities at the lowest possible cost.

Astranis built a test satellite during YC for under $50,000, demonstrating that it's possible to launch a satellite without the typical high costs associated with such projects.

The SpaceX launch of human beings to orbit on May 30th, 2020, marked the beginning of a new era in human space exploration, providing hope during a challenging time in history.

The cost of launching payloads into orbit has drastically decreased from $50,000 per kilogram to as low as $10 to $20 with advancements like SpaceX's Starship.

Astranis, a Y Combinator startup, revolutionized satellite technology by building smaller, cheaper satellites instead of a few large ones, similar to how commodity servers replaced mainframes.
