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.
On February 17, 2026, KSAT prepared Hyperion for an in-orbit relay test, advancing its HYPER concept from design into demonstration. This test will utilize relay satellites to function as ground stations in space, aiming to shorten the time operators receive critical satellite data. Previously, on February 9, KSAT highlighted Hyperion as a key milestone for HYPER, designed to augment its global ground network by extending it into space. The mission intends to demonstrate how relay satellites can act as in-orbit ground stations, thereby reducing latency and increasing availability for satellites.
