The Satellite is a monophonic[3]analog synthesizer that was manufactured by Moog Music from 1973 to 1979[4] in response to the ARP Soloist and 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 a license to build 5000 stand-alone instruments (as the Thomas 1055) and also to build them into their organs.[6] The case is mainly made out of wood.
