Unlock The
Possibilities With
The Kepler Network

The Kepler Network provides customers with always-available coverage in LEO, streamlining on-orbit communications with sub-second end-to-end latency, gigabit throughputs, and onboard processing to enable access to space-generated data in near-real time.

Delivering Data at Lightspeed

Improve Space Communications

Our solutions are solving the problems our customers face today by keeping them connected to space with real-time, always-available access to data through end-to-end latency and high-speed downlink capabilities.

Connectivity Comparison

Flexible Options for Dynamic Missions

We take the guesswork out of mission communications by offering scheduled, assured, and persistent connectivity options, allowing operators to schedule communications on a timeline that makes sense for each mission.
