NorthStar Earth & Space which is looking to build which is looking at building a low Earth orbit (LEO) constellation of 40 satellites has signed a cooperation with the government of Luxembourg.

The Canadian government made a calculated bet today that a potential $600 million contribution to Telesat will help it win significant marketshare in the low Earth orbit satellite constellation global competition.

Telesat has reached another milestone in its efforts to get its proposed Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation off the ground.

It was just two months ago that Telesat announced that it had selected unproven, but well funded, Blue Origin as a launch partner for its low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation. Today, they’ve also selected startup Relativity Space to be a launch partner.

As had been reported, the 2019 Canadian federal budget includes new funding that will be spent towards securing Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite capacity.

Telesat announced OmniAccess, a specialized maritime connectivity solutions provider, as its first “major” customer for the company’s LEO constellation.

Telesat is one step closer in deciding who will build its LEO Satellite Constellation with both Airbus and the Thales Alenia Space, Maxar consortium having completed the System Requirements Review.

Kleos Space is looking to build a satellite constellation that will collect radio transmissions data that is currently hidden from detection for commercial and government civil and defence clients.

Montreal based NorStar Space Data Inc. announced in late August that it had secured $52M in first round financing that included $13M from the government of Quebec.

Telesat revenues in the second quarter this year were down 4% excluding the impact of foreign exchange rate changes, and the company’s backlog remained sizeable at $3.8B.
