Description Kepler Communications, a small satellite startup, is designing a constellation of CubeSats for Internet of Things (IoT), machine-to-machine (M2M) and inter-satellite communications services. After the first initial prototypes, KIPP and CASE, Kepler added a third improved demonstration satelite called TARS (in honor of a fictional robot from the movie 'Interstellar'), which will be built by ÅAC Microtec. Besides the store and forward payload, TARS will also include a narrowband communications payload to carry small amounts of data from numerous Internet of Things devices. Additionally, the TARS satellite provides also space for Catapult's IOD-5 in-orbit demonstration mission.
