Quick answers

What is Kepler Communications?

A Toronto satellite company founded in 2015 that is building an in-space data relay network — satellites that pass data to other satellites over optical links, so a spacecraft does not have to wait to fly over a ground station. It raised a US$92 million Series C in April 2023.

Is Wen Cheng Chong still at Kepler?

Kepler's own leadership page, checked on 4 August 2026, does not list him; it names Mina Mitry as CEO and co-founder. His current role is not established from a public source, so this page records the co-founder role rather than a present-day title.
