KIPP is the first Canadian satellite launched on a Chinese rocket, and the first commercial low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellite to use Ku-band frequencies. Nicknamed KIPP after a robot in the 2014 sci-fi movie “Interstellar,” the 30-centimeter by 10-centimeter by 10-centimeter nanosatellite is the first of two demonstration satellites Scotland’s Clyde Space built for Kepler, which aims to deploy a constellation of 140 satellites to connect devices on Earth and in space.
