Astranis Books Full Falcon 9 Rocket to Launch Block 4 Fleet in 2028

Astranis announced the upgrade of its fourth launch to a dedicated mission on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket scheduled for 2028, according to a statement reported by Yahoo Finance.

The single rocket will carry the company's entire Block 4 production of MicroGEO satellites, in a move that consolidates the production batch into a single flight.

No financial value for the contract was disclosed, while SpaceNews reported the same upgrade at the same time.

Astranis develops MicroGEO communications satellites, and the dedicated launch sets a single date to launch the full production batch.

What do these terms mean?

MicroGEO: Small communications satellites operating in geostationary orbit.

Dedicated Launch: A flight in which the entire rocket is reserved for a single entity's payload instead of sharing it with other payloads.

Block 4: The name of the fourth production batch of Astranis satellites that the rocket will carry in 2028.
