Telesat launched a single Telesat LEO prototype satellite 28 months before this article to demonstrate low-latency broadband.
Telesat completed bring-into-use for its LEO Vantage 1 prototype satellite in 2018 after launching the satellite as a co-passenger on an Indian PSLV rocket.
Telesat plans a low-Earth-orbit constellation of 298 internet satellites called Telesat LEO.
Because Telesat completed bring-into-use before the World Radiocommunication Conference rule changes, the ITU milestones for Telesat start on 2021-01-01 instead of on Telesat’s BIU date.
Telesat is currently choosing between two bids to build the Telesat LEO constellation after the separation of Maxar and Thales Alenia Space.
Telesat plans to add another 20 gateway stations as demand for the Telesat LEO service grows.
Telesat plans to address mobility markets by beaming Wi-Fi to ships and aircraft as well as serving business and government users.
Telesat has until 2023-01-01 to have at least 30 satellites in orbit under the ITU milestone schedule for operators that completed BIU prior to the rule changes.
Telesat has signed schedule-protection project contracts with key component suppliers to keep Telesat LEO on track regardless of which prime contractor or contractors Telesat chooses.
Telesat intends to order an undetermined number of ground spares for the Telesat LEO constellation.
The polar Telesat LEO satellites are intended to enable service in high northern latitudes in 2022, with global service commencing in 2023 after inclined-orbit satellites launch.
Telesat plans to launch the remaining 220 Telesat LEO satellites into inclined orbits by the end of 2023.
Telesat anticipates activating 12 to 15 gateway stations in 2022 to support its polar satellites and another 12 to 15 gateway stations in 2023 for its inclined-orbit satellites.
A single New Glenn mission will be able to launch 30 to 35 Telesat LEO satellites.
Telesat’s deployment timeline calls for launching 78 Telesat LEO satellites into polar orbits in 2022.
Telesat signed a launch contract with Blue Origin in January 2019 for multiple New Glenn missions.
OneWeb and Leosat have exited the LEO broadband field, leaving three remaining contenders: Amazon, SpaceX, and Telesat.
