Kepler Communications and C-Com connected Kepler’s demonstration cubesats KIPP and CASE using C-Com’s iNetVu FLY-981 Ku-band terminal and demonstrated a 100 Mbps downlink and a 30 Mbps uplink.
Kepler Communications operates a prototype cubesat called KIPP that provides wideband service.
AAC Clyde built Kepler’s first two prototype satellites: KIPP, which launched aboard a Chinese Long March 11 in January, and CASE, which is scheduled to launch later 2018 on an unspecified rocket.
Kepler’s KIPP satellite was launched to low-Earth orbit in January on a Chinese Long March 11 rocket to provide store-and-forward services.
