In a press release issued by Kepler Communications this morning the company states it has demonstrated tracking and date transfers of its two satellites in low Earth Orbit using Kymeta’s Electronically Steered Antenna.

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) has awarded just over $15 million in funding to 25 companies for its Space Technology Development Program (STDP).

Space Angels, a leading proponent and investor in space startups, has released its 2018 fourth quarter report which indicates that US$2.97B in equity capital was invested in space companies globally in 2018.

Satellite communication technology has evolved to the point that even very small satellites in low Earth orbit can have robust “comms” with ground stations. How do they do it?

There are 13 Canadian commercial satellite constellations in development with 384 planned satellites and five satellites already on-orbit.

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.

Kepler Communications, which is planning a constellation of 140 small communication satellites in Low Earth Orbit, announced today it has raised US$16M in Series A funding.

Kepler Communications announced this week that they had partnered with the UK’s Satellite Applications Catapult on developing a third demonstration satellite and expanding their operations into the UK.

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.
