ISISPACE will provide Kleos with a turnkey solution for the four Observer Mission satellites including design, development, production, testing, launch integration services, and support for checkout and commissioning.
Kleos launched its Vigilance Mission satellites in June 2021.
Kleos launched its Scouting Mission satellites in November 2020.
ISISPACE has more than 15 years of nanosatellite experience and successfully built Kleos’ Vigilance Mission (KSF1) satellites.
Kleos’ new satellite cluster build and launch was funded by a successful A$12,600,000 capital raise.
Kleos provides independent geolocation radio frequency data to qualified subscribers on a Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) subscription basis.
Kleos plans a global high-capacity constellation of up to 20 satellite clusters.
Kleos’ Scouting Mission operates in a 37-degree orbit while the Vigilance Mission and Patrol Mission operate in Sun-synchronous orbits.
Kleos successfully launched its Vigilance Mission satellites in June 2021.
Kleos successfully launched its Scouting Mission satellites in November 2020.
Spaceflight provided integration, mission management, and launch services for Kleos’ Vigilance Mission satellites on its SXRS-5 mission in June 2021.
Kleos tested the RF-mapping capabilities of its first cubesat cluster by homing in on a 4.2-watt beacon on the Republic of Cabo Verde.
Kleos plans to launch as many as 20 clusters of RF-reconnaissance satellites in the years ahead.
Kleos’ highest-confidence position estimate for the beacon used an ellipse with a 4.5-kilometer semi-major axis and a 0.26-kilometer semi-minor axis.
Kleos launched its second cubesat cluster in June on the SpaceX Falcon 9 Transporter-2 rideshare mission.
Kleos launched its first cluster of four cubesats in 2020.
Kleos is scaling its global geolocation data-as-a-service and will further support its additional engineering teams in the UK and the US from the new facility.
Kleos is delivering data to early-adopter customers and is in discussions with potential European-based subscribers.
Kleos Space secured A$12,600,000 (approximately $9,300,000) via a Placement of approximately 14,823,529 new CHESS Depositary Interests over Kleos ordinary shares.
Kleos has launched its first two satellite clusters and is targeting a constellation of up to 20 clusters.
