Solving the Downlink Bottleneck
Kepler’s High-Speed Downlink Service is your solution for downlinking high-capacity data, including optical images, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data, infrared images, hyperspectral images, RF geolocation data, and more.
How It Works
Flown as hosted payload, a high-capacity backhaul link allows customers to move large amounts of data with a complete solution combining access to Kepler’s spectrum licenses, existing ground network, and the simple integration of a customizable RF terminal on any satellite, 2U or larger. With technology tested and deployed on 21 satellites in orbit, the High-Speed Downlink Service has proven flight heritage.
INTEGRATE OUR KU-TERMINAL
Kepler’s Ku-Terminal can seamlessly integrate onto any satellite 2U or larger.

LAUNCH YOUR SATELLITE MISSION
Our Ku-Terminal is flown as a hosted payload.
ACCESS TURNKEY SOLUTION
Kepler’s High-Speed Downlink Service gives operators access to our spectrum licenses and global ground station network.

DOWNLINK YOUR ON-ORBIT DATA
Meet high-speed demands with peak data rates.
Let Kepler Handle Your Space-Generated Data
The demand for space-generated data is higher than ever before, with exponentially increased global downlinking needs from government and commercial sectors, creating backlogs and bottlenecks preventing efficient data transfer to the earth. Kepler provides the technology and infrastructure needed to alleviate these bottlenecks, allowing satellite operators to focus on the mission. We offer end-to-end integration services to ensure customers have continual support for a successful mission.
