> TAMPA, Fla. — Telesat is preparing to resume demonstrations for its delayed low Earth orbit broadband constellation after Rocket Lab successfully launched the Canadian operator’s latest prototype satellite.

> LEO 1, the previous demonstrator for Telesat’s proposed Lightspeed network, launched in 2018 but recently ran out of fuel as negotiations to fully fund nearly 200 commercial satellites drag on.

> LEO 2 never made it to orbit. Built by SFL in partnership with Maxar Technologies, LEO 2 was one of 19 satellites lost in a 2017 Russian Soyuz launch failure.
