In an October 15, 2019 letter to the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) , Kepler Communications is petitioning the FCC to reconsider its order and authorization request from SpaceX to lower the altitude of 1,584 of its satellites to 550 km.

Can you build an effective communication satellite the size of a grilled cheese sandwich? For the Internet of Things (IoT) marketplace, Swarm Technologies is out to prove it can.

November is being dubbed Space Month by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and during the month they plan on voting, with the intention of approving, the spectrum license for Kepler Communications’ satellite constellation.

As other small satellite constellations get their spectrum licenses approved, Kepler Communications is stuck waiting, as patiently as any startup can be when trying to execute its business plan.

For the first time a Canadian satellite has been launched by China. Kepler Communications, a Toronto based startup, had its first satellite launched today as secondary payload on a Long March 11 rocket. Canadian satellites have previously flown on American, Russian and Indian launch vehicles.

As had been expected, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has granted Telesat access to the U.S. market for its constellation of 117 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO).
