Kleos RF reconnaissance

Kleos Space Inc. was previously awarded the NRO’s Strategic Commercial Enhancements BAA Framework Stage One contract focused on modeling and simulation of Kleos’ capabilities to support U.S. Government commercial radio frequency reconnaissance needs.

Kleos’ second satellite cluster, the Vigilance Mission, launched in June 2021.

Kleos’ fourth cluster, the Observer Mission, launched in January 2023.

Kleos’ Patrol Mission satellite cluster launched in April 2022.

Kleos’ first satellite cluster, the Scouting Mission (KSM), launched in November 2020 and performed as a test and technology demonstration while collecting data.

Kleos’ RF data collection satellite constellation is designed to collect and downlink RF data accurately and with redundancy.

Recent advancements in Kleos’ ground signal processing technology allow the company to deliver the LOCATE geospatial intelligence product with as few as two satellites in a formation, down from a previous minimum of three.

The next Kleos mission, the Patrol Mission (KSF3), is scheduled to launch on SpaceX Transporter-6 and is expected to launch in January 2023.

Spaceflight Inc. helped extend customer constellations including Kleos, Astrocast, and BlackSky in 2022.

The four Kleos spacecraft are headed to a 525-kilometer Sun Synchronous Orbit aboard a Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

Guardian LOCATE provides processed geolocated radio frequency transmissions collected over key areas of interest by Kleos’ satellites.

Kleos has a further multi-satellite mission scheduled to launch before the end of 2022.

Kleos has partnered with UP42 to provide Kleos’ precision RF geolocation data and industry intelligence to UP42 platform users.

The Observer Mission will expand Kleos’ data collection capacity by up to an additional 119 million km2 per day.

Kleos operates a four-sat-per-cluster constellation architecture that provides increased resilience and risk reduction compared to systems with fewer satellites.

The Observer Mission, Kleos’ fourth satellite cluster (KSF3), completed all required environmental testing prior to pre-shipment checkout.

Kleos’ first satellite cluster, the Scouting Mission (KSM), successfully launched in November 2020 and is performing as a test and technology demonstration while collecting data.

Under the project, Kleos will provide insights into optimizing evolving commercial RF geolocation capability to enhance and augment existing capabilities in a persistent, resilient, cost-effective, and shareable manner across the U.S. Government and with international partners and allies.
