KSAT, a privately owned company and a subsidiary of Graham Media Group, is headquartered in the US. Founded in 1957, it employs approximately 190 people and reported $125.4M in revenue as of 2023. Functioning as a tier 1 media tech buyer, the company specializes in providing media and TV services, operating as a regional TV station.
KSAT is preparing an in-orbit relay test for its Hyperion concept, aiming to move the HYPER design into demonstration by using relay satellites as "ground stations in space" to shorten the time operators receive critical satellite data, as of February 17, 2026. This Hyperion mission is considered a key milestone for HYPER, designed to augment KSAT’s global ground network by extending it into space, thereby demonstrating how relay satellites can reduce latency and increase availability for satellites, as announced on February 9. Earlier, on February 6, KSAT introduced a new platform that offers space-based maritime situational awareness by combining its global satellite ground network and maritime services with AI-powered analytics developed by VAKE. This follows the early February reflection on KSATlite's 10-year journey, which began with the realization that the space industry was undergoing rapid change.
