The Satellite is a lesser known monophonic[3] analog synthesizer that was manufactured by Moog Music from 1973 to 1979[4] in response to the ARP Pro Soloist.[5] It had one VCO. It was designed for use with any organ or sound system. The American company Thomas Organ bought the license to build it.[6] The case is made out of wood.
