Kepler Communications

Kepler Communications Inc. provides optical communications infrastructure in space. Its network keeps missions connected through a resilient optical infrastructure that supports real-time data delivery, on-orbit compute and hosted payload missions. The company is based in Canada and has a US business, Kepler U.S., which recently appointed Caitlin Marsh as its president to lead the next phase of growth.

Network and services

• The Kepler Network, a commercial real-time optical relay network in low Earth orbit
• Kepler Hosted: proven space infrastructure, onboard compute and optical data relay, to detect, process and deliver insights without delay
• Hosted payload services that reduce cost, schedule risk and technical complexity for customers who want access to orbit
• On-demand access to mission data through resilient optical connectivity
• On-orbit compute that brings advanced processing closer to the source for faster decisions and more autonomous systems

Kepler describes this as extending cloud concepts to space, with on-demand, real-time connectivity powering next-generation missions.

Applications

• Intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR): turning sensor data into operational advantage by delivering information in real time
• Arctic security: connecting sensors, platforms and operators to improve awareness and coordination
• Disaster response: moving thermal imagery and sensor data quickly to emergency responders

Partners and news

Recent announcements include a selection of Rocket Lab's Neutron for Kepler's first dedicated launch, agreements with NorthStar to expand a space-based optical sensor network and a space domain awareness service, capacity for 10 Kepler satellites on Portal's Motus Via Sol mission arranged by Maverick Space Systems, and delivery of optical infrastructure for real-time space operations.

Shows

Kepler Communications appears in the exhibitor and sponsor lists of the SmallSat Symposium (sponsor), the Small Satellite Conference, Space Tech Expo Europe, MSPO and SATELLITE.
