ASTRO: Astrocast Successfully Optimizes Satellite Constellation for Increased Service Quality and Reliability

Astrocast
Following the launch of a batch of four satellites in November 2022, the company
efficiently commissioned and manoeuvred them in a record time. It improves
reliability, and average latency in Astrocast's service.


Lausanne, Switzerland, February 16, 2023, Astrocast, a leading global
nanosatellite IoT network operator, announces today the successful optimization
of its satellite constellation with improved service quality and reliability.
Following the launch of four satellites in November 2022, the company
efficiently commissioned them and began computing and executing the necessary
manoeuvres to re-phase them with the correct angular separation to maximize
service performance.

Thanks to the computed and performed manoeuvres, the satellites can now be put
into service starting at the end of February and will be in their final orbital
slot by the end of May. Astrocast's complete control of the constellation
enables the company to enhance the service and increase the satellite lifetime
with maximum propellant usage optimization.

"The increased number of satellites in our constellation brings more redundancy
for the Astrocast service, improving reliability, service passes per day, and
average latency. In addition, the company's in-house expertise ensures the
successful operation of the constellation", says Federico Belloni, CTO,
Astrocast

Astrocast's successful optimization of its satellite constellation demonstrates
the company's satellite technology maturity, including fabrication, operation,
and constellation design and maintenance. The company has complete control of
its satellites in orbit, enabling it to optimize the service. In addition, the
satellites are monitored and manoeuvred if required to ensure no collision
events occur, thanks to Astrocast's collaboration with OKAPI:Orbits .

Astrocast is committed to maintaining its position as a leading nanosatellite
IoT network operator and has invested significant resources as well as capital
to ensure it. This successful optimization of its satellite constellation
represents a significant step forward in achieving that goal.
