Kepler Communications is an innovative brand based in Toronto, ON, on a mission to build the internet for space. They provide real-time, continuous connectivity for space, making space-generated data instantly accessible and abolishing barriers to universal access. Kepler is dedicated to creating the necessary infrastructure to support current and future space industry needs, empowering human exploration beyond Earth. With a proven flight heritage from their previous 21 satellites, Kepler’s network ensures that customers stay connected to on-orbit assets. They achieve this through a hybrid network of RF and optical inter-satellite links, significantly increasing capacity for mission-essential data downlinking to Earth. Kepler also operates with their own ground stations and in-house production facilities to design, build, and test their satellites and payloads, fully understanding the lifecycle of satellite operations and the challenges faced by their customers. Kepler is actively working to standardize access to space-generated data by eliminating geographic and regulatory barriers. Their goal is to build the Internet for space, ensuring that critical data is available to all mission operators in real-time. In addition to their cutting-edge technology and services, Kepler stands out with a leadership team that includes CEO Mina Mitry, who holds a master’s degree in aerospace engineering and co-founded the company with the mission of bringing internet connectivity to space. The team also includes Chief Technology Officer Wen Cheng Chong, Chief Architect Mark Michael, Chief Operating Officer Steve Bennett, and VP of People & Culture Jenny Crandall, all of whom bring a wealth of expertise and experience to drive Kepler’s innovative solutions forward.
