Oneliner	Kepler’s vision is to provide real-time, continuous connectivity for space, making space-generated data instantaneously accessible and empowering humanity to become a spacefaring civilization.
Notes	The tests on a SAILOR 600 Ku 60cm marine stabilized antenna system saw data speeds of 150 Mbps downlink and 130 Mbps uplink. Kepler Communications has successfully tested inter-satellite links with a terminal designed to tap into the Aether data-relay constellation it plans to start deploying early 2023. The company is also planning to test its terminal on a third party nanosatellite operated by Spire Global that is slated to launch in late 2022.
