Prices and Purchase

Satellite Sharing Service

For institutions with little need of module and limited budget, Arcturus Project Gemini allows customers sharing one MCS. This planning allows up to 5 Modules per customer. Each customer will only need to pay for the induvisually owned Module(s) and shared Core Unit and orital launch price

Example Plan A:

One Unit MCS, shared by two customers such that each customer purchases one Module, each starting at:

114,000 USD

With 12 months of data transmission service subscribsion

Including 1 shared Core unit, 1 non-custom standard module, certificate of for the MCS shared among the two customers, 12 months of shared-bandwidth data transmission service and orbit launch service.

Example Plan B:

Two Unit MCS, shared by three customers such that each customer purchases two Module, each starting at:

146,000 USD

With 12 months of data transmission service subscribsion

Including 1 shared Core unit, 1 non-custom standard module, certificate of for the MCS shared among the three customers, 12 months of shared-bandwidth data transmission service and orbit launch service.
