In regards to ground stations, Kepler noted that due to the newly proposed licensing requirements in Canada – it intends to operate both TT&C and its gateway within the confines of Canada. Of note was the discussion of an additional filing to be presented to the ITU in the near future which, would allow Kepler to accommodate further bands within its proposed system. Furthermore, Kepler highlighted its continuing financial stability as well as the signing of its launch contract with the PSLV for Q4 of 2017 with a second launch planed for Q1 of 2018.
