KSAT has officially signed a contract for launch with SpaceX, securing the ride to orbit for the first satellites of Hyper.
The mission is targeting launch in late 2027, marking a major milestone in the project’s journey from design to space.
Hyper brings KSAT’s ground-station capability into orbit, extending the reach of the KSAT network even further. By deploying loops of high-performance relay satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Hyper will enable continuous, low-latency data delivery across the globe. This orbital layer augments KSAT's existing global network and ensures customers receive the connectivity they need, exactly when and where they need it, unlocking new possibilities for real-time operations, mission resilience, and data-driven decision-making.
“This is a defining step for us,” says Edvard Foss, General Manager for Hyper. “Securing this first launch brings Hyper one step closer to space, and one step closer to delivering even lower latencies for our customers. This strengthens our commitment to building a world-leading in-orbit relay capability.”
