Summary
NUVIEW BRAVO, also known as NuView Bravo, is a high throughput satellite (HTS) manufactured by Astranis and owned by Anuvu. It was launched on December 29, 2024, from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle at SLC-40 pad. The satellite has dimensions of 1.5 meters in length and diameter with a span of 10 meters when its solar arrays are deployed. Weighing 400 kilograms at launch, it is designed to operate for 8 to 10 years, providing high-performance connectivity over North America and the Caribbean. Equipped with software-defined radios (SDRs) and digital channelizers, NUVIEW BRAVO supports in-flight and maritime communications through its Ku-band payload. The satellite is powered by solar arrays and batteries and employs electric propulsion for orbit maintenance. It uses three-axis stabilization for precise orientation control. Constructed from aluminum and composite materials, the spacecraft has a silver color and a box shape with 22-panel solar arrays. NUVIEW BRAVO operates as part of the Anuvu Constellation alongside related satellites like NUVIEW ALPHA and AGILA.
