QuoteToday was a landmark day in the history of Astranis. <snip>San Francisco is currently hosting dozens of world leaders at the APEC Conference, where we had the chance to sit down with Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., the President of the Philippines.At the event, we announced together that Astranis will dramatically accelerate our partnership with Orbits Corp and bring not one, but two internet satellites to the Philippines: one on Astranis’s next launch, set for Q1 of 2024, and the second on the previously-announced launch to follow later in 2024.The President announced that he is naming the new satellite “AGILA,” the name of the Filipino national bird, the “Great Philippine Eagle.”

In an exciting update from NASA, the first crewed launch of Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner vehicle is set to take place in April, according to Phil McAlister, director of NASA’s commercial space division. The Crew Flight Test (CFT) mission, originally scheduled for 2022, was delayed to resolve technical issues. However, preparations for the mission are on track, and if all goes well, the launch will happen on April 14.

Also, he acknowledged "some schedule risk" to those plans given the state of New Glenn development.QuoteStephen Clark @StephenClark1Bradley Smith, director of NASA's Launch Services Program, says the agency's Mars-bound ESCAPADE smallsats will fly on an "incredibly ambitious first launch for (Blue Origin's) New Glenn" rocket "around this time next year."
