Network – Kepler

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.

Kepler Network

The Kepler Network provides customers with always-available coverage in LEO, streamlining on-orbit communications.

[02]

Kepler Connect

Kepler's optical data relay constellation provides space assets with an on-demand, communications link.

[03]

Kepler Compute

Kepler is advancing on-orbit intelligence through high-performance edge computing.

[04]

Hosted Payload

Kepler Hosted leverages our active satellite network to put missions in orbit faster.

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.

Description

Reserve guaranteed network capacity at specific times in regions of interest.

Access connectivity precisely when required, from 'next available' to 30-day intervals.

Cost-effective, large-volume data transfer service.

Continuous, high-data-rate connectivity, just like terrestrial broadband.

Use Cases

Rapid and high priority delivery for earth observation data collected in geographical regions of interest.

Routine or Time-sensitive connections during spacecraft LEOP, space logistics and emergency situations. Rapid data delivery for non-earth imagery.

Data collection for mapping or long-term monitoring. Low priority data downlinking.

Constant communication needs of human spaceflight, continuous data streaming.

Reservation System

Long-term capacity allocation is guaranteed by a contractual Capacity Agreement. Reserve contacts 30 days to 10 minutes before contact with assured availability.

Reserve contacts as far as 30 days in advance or request the next available contact.

Kepler provides a range of contact options based on the customer’s requirements. Confirmed contact details will be communicated at least 12 hours prior to contact time.

Customer requests contact reservation of customer-specified length at least 30 days in advance. Available when confirmed by Kepler—confirmation timeframes may vary.
