The Indian space company is building satellite avionics, mission operations and a swarm-based intelligence constellation for defense and government users.
Satellite swarms for persistent monitoring
Kepler Aerospace's stack spans satellite avionics, sensors, communications, ground stations and software that lets satellites coordinate as a swarm. The company is building a six-satellite intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance constellation for India's Defence Space Agency, alongside contracted avionics and mission-operations work. Its model combines spacecraft systems with the services needed to operate missions in orbit.
