Satellite Icon
satellite · Astronomy · 6 styles
Filed under Astronomy, the Satellite icon is part of the Solar Icons Angular package. It is one of 32 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so Satellite lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "satellite", and every style variant resolves from that single name.
Users read the shape as the idea of space, planets, stars and celestial phenomena. That places Satellite in the Astronomy family, which covers space, planets, stars and celestial phenomena and turns up in dark-mode toggles, onboarding illustrations, empty states and rating widgets. Teams building products that lean on a night-sky metaphor for themes and favourites reach for this set first. Use Satellite where the label alone would be ambiguous — an icon-only button, a dense table row, a mobile tab bar — and keep an accessible name on the control, because the SVG itself is decorative.
Satellite in 6 styles
Satellite is drawn in 6 style variants: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Bold gives you solid filled shapes that hold their weight at 16px and read clearly against coloured backgrounds. Bold Duotone gives you a filled body with a second, lower-opacity layer that adds depth without a second colour token. Linear gives you even 1.5px strokes, the neutral default for dense interfaces and toolbars. A common pairing is Bold for the selected state and Line Duotone for the rest, so the active item reads without a colour change.

You register only the variants you actually render, so nothing unused reaches the bundle. Import SatelliteBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/astronomy" entry point, hand it to provideSolarIcons in your application config or in a route-level providers array, and render it with the solar-icon component. All 6 exports for satellite live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.

import { provideSolarIcons } from '@rchernando/solar-icons';
import { SatelliteBold } from '@rchernando/solar-icons/astronomy';

Icons drawn alongside it in Astronomy include Planet3, Infinity, Black Hole, Ufo3, Stars Line, Star Rainbow, Star Fall and Star Angle. They share stroke weight and corner radius with Satellite, so mixing them in one toolbar stays consistent.

Satellite icon FAQ
- How do I use the satellite icon in Angular?
- Import SatelliteBold from "@rchernando/solar-icons/astronomy", register it with provideSolarIcons(SatelliteBold) and render <solar-icon name="satellite" iconStyle="bold" />. No HTTP request is made — the SVG is inlined at build time.
- Which styles does Satellite support?
- 6 of them: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Each is a separate export, so you only ship the ones you import.
- Can I change the size and colour of satellite?
- Yes. The size input accepts any CSS length and the SVG uses currentColor, so Satellite inherits the text colour of its container — a Tailwind class such as text-violet-400 is enough.
