Canada’s C$2.3 billion base contract, worth up to C$2.7 billion with options, gives Lightspeed a major anchor customer and long-term demand. The deal includes C$2.0 billion of milestone payments to fund the expanded constellation. (Telesat)
Telesat still expects to start high-latitude service, including the Canadian Arctic military contract, by the end of Q1 2028 despite moving its global-service target back three months. That could allow some Lightspeed revenue to begin before full global coverage. (Via Satellite)
A Telesat test satellite has demonstrated a live link using Farcast’s shared-aperture antenna, an important step towards validating user-terminal technology for Lightspeed. Successful terminals are essential to turning the satellite network into a usable service. (SpaceQ)
Telesat faces roughly US$1.71 billion of debt due in December, with further maturities in 2027, and its cash flow is not enough to cover them. Lenders’ proposed equity rights offering could dilute shareholders, while a refinancing outcome remains uncertain. (The Globe and Mail)
The legacy GEO business is shrinking: Q3 revenue fell 21% and adjusted EBITDA fell 43% year on year, while satellite utilisation was only 59%. This weakens the cash-generating business while Telesat works through its debt and builds Lightspeed. (SEC)
A shortage of launch capacity has pushed the first two Lightspeed test satellites to a planned mid-2027 launch and full global service to the end of Q2 2028. Further launch or integration delays could defer revenue from the new constellation. (Via Satellite)
