The Canadian government is investing $20 million in Kepler Communications to support the development of the Aether constellation, an in-orbit high-speed connectivity network. This project, valued at $280.3 million, will enhance Canada’s satellite communications with advanced optical intersatellite link laser technology.
The investment, through the Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF), will create 95 full-time jobs and 346 co-op positions at Kepler’s Toronto headquarters. In addition, Kepler received $2 million from the Canadian Space Agency in September 2024. This initiative strengthens Canada’s leadership in space exploration and satellite innovation.
