Pathfinder Launch

In November 2023, Kepler launched two optical Pathfinder satellites to test and validate the optical technology planned for our internet-ready LEO constellation, The Kepler Network. The SDA-compatible data relay network will build on flight heritage from our existing constellation of 21 RF satellites, improving on-orbit communications to give customers access to space-generated data in near-real-time.
