Kepler Communications successfully launched 10 next-generation satellites via SpaceX, establishing the first operational tranche of its AETHER optical relay network. These 300kg satellites create a high-speed orbital backbone, using laser inter-satellite links to provide real-time data relay for space assets. This infrastructure removes ground station bottlenecks, slashing data latency from hours to seconds for AI-driven Earth observation. It is a pivotal step toward a persistent space internet. 🛰️🚀
