Kepler Communications Inc. is an international satellite telecommunications company based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, with presence in the UK and the USA.

[citation needed] Kepler was able to raise $5M in a seed round financing at Techstars, and in the span of 12 months was able to take KIPP from design to orbit.

[4][5] The company started as a builder of a shoebox-sized satellites constellation based on the CubeSat standard to deliver connectivity to other satellites and ground-based stations, allowing for near real-time exchange of data from IoT devices, large scale data backhaul (store-and-forward) services, and ultimately command and control for other space-based assets.

[7] In addition, Kepler Communications began its partnership with Houston-based AXIOM Space and Broomfield-based Skyloom Global to initiate Optical Inter-Satellite Links (OISLs) in the following year.

[12] The operational satellites are built on a 6U format and they're based on the Spartan cubesat platform, developed by Kepler Communications in cooperation with UTIAS-SFL.

[13] Company officials have stated a goal of growing their constellation up to 140 units,[14] all located in Sun-Synchronous polar orbits, approximately 575 km above the Earth's surface.
