Another milestone for the Telesat Lightspeed program as the terrestrial infrastructure takes shape!
Installation of the @Intellian gateway antennas is now complete at our Papineauville, Quebec landing station. This site will support end-to-end network testing when our first two satellites launch later this year.
Congratulations to the Intellian and Telesat teams on this achievement!
