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.
