Satellite Map Day 2025

Telesat expects Telesat Lightspeed to start operations in the fourth quarter of 2027

Ricardo Pellicciari de Andrade, the company's Sales Director, announced this during the first day of the event. Satellite launches for the constellation will begin in the second half of 2026, while field testing is scheduled to start in the third quarter of 2027.

The current status of the project, as defined by the executive, is “network implementation.” MDA, the manufacturer of the fleet, is finalizing the expansion of its site in Montreal, with its inauguration planned for the second half of 2025. Meanwhile, the supply chain is already secured.

Progress has also been made, as Pellicciari de Andrade added, with the selection of antennas from Intellian and modems from Satixfy.
