Canadian Startup Kepler Launches 10 Satellites in Push for Space Telecom.

The article focuses on the launch of 10 low-Earth-orbit satellites by Canadian startup Kepler Communications Inc. through SpaceX, marking a significant advancement in the company's efforts to establish a telecommunications network from space. Each satellite weighs approximately 300 kilograms and will serve various purposes, including Earth observation, defense, and communications, functioning as "orbital data centers" capable of storing large amounts of data and running AI workloads. Kepler, based in Toronto and having raised $200 million since its inception, is part of a growing trend of commercial entities entering the space sector, which has traditionally been dominated by government and military operations. The Canadian government is also increasing its investment in defense and space capabilities, further supporting Kepler's initiatives. [Extracted from the article]
