Kepler Communications

Optical data relay satellites

Kepler Communications provides real-time internet access for space-based assets, operating the first commercial optical data relay constellation with 33 satellites launched to date. The constraint it addresses is real: satellites currently wait to pass over a ground station before transmitting, so data collected in orbit sits unused for hours. Continuous relay changes what missions can do, and Kepler also supports on-orbit compute and hosted payload capabilities. Its team combines bold thinkers and skilled builders working at the boundary of what is possible in space communications.
