Humanity’s use of space is increasing every year as more nation states join the space club and commercial activities increases. It is important that all stakeholders work together towards a sustainable space environment.

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

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.
