Canadian Companies Partner on SDA Sat Solution

Payload Space reports that Montreal‑based NorthStar Earth & Space will equip Kepler Communications’ satellite with its space‑domain awareness sensors, a partnership announced Wednesday. The arrangement aims to expand a real‑time SDA network, complementing recent moves like SpaceX’s free SSA catalog for smallsat operators and LeoLabs’ upcoming demonstration for U.S. national‑security missions. NorthStar, which plans a SPAC listing next quarter, recently secured a contract of more than forty million Canadian dollars with the Royal Canadian Air Force’s 3 Canadian Space Division to maintain independent orbital monitoring. Both companies say the collaboration reflects a continued commitment to cross‑border space cooperation despite broader trade tensions.
