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).
