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 its Hyperion concept for an in-orbit relay test, aiming to demonstrate how relay satellites can function as ground stations in space to shorten the time operators receive critical satellite data. This development, announced on February 17, 2026, moves KSAT's HYPER concept from design into on-orbit demonstration. Previously, on February 9, the company emphasized Hyperion as a key milestone for HYPER, designed to augment KSAT's global ground network by extending it into space, thereby reducing latency and increasing availability for satellites. Earlier in the month, on February 6, KSAT introduced a new AI-driven maritime monitoring platform. This platform provides space-based maritime situational awareness by combining KSAT's global satellite ground network and maritime services with AI-powered analytics developed by VAKE. On February 3, KSAT also marked the 10-year anniversary of KSATlite, reflecting on its inception from the realization that the space industry was rapidly changing and required adaptation.
