Kleos’ demonstrator satellites have completed commissioning and are delivering test data to early adopter customers.
Kleos’ third satellite cluster, the Patrol Mission, is scheduled to launch at the end of 2021 onboard a SpaceX Falcon 9.
Kleos Space SA established a partnership with Japan Space Imaging Corporation to support promotion of Kleos’ geolocation data in Japan.
Japan Space Imaging Corporation will act as Kleos’ promotional partner and provide direct tactical and promotional support.
Kleos launched its second cluster, the Vigilance Mission (KSF1), at the end of June.
The Kleos Scouting Mission (KSM1) launched into a 37-degree inclination in November.
Kleos launched its Polar Vigilance Mission satellites (KSF1) in July 2021.
Kleos launched its second satellite cluster, the Polar Vigilance Mission (KSF1), on 30 June 2021 (UTC) aboard the Spaceflight SXRS-5/SpaceX Transporter-2 mission.
Miles Ashcroft’s appointment to the newly created Chief Innovation Officer role follows the launch of Kleos’ Scouting Mission satellites (KSM1) in November 2020.
Repeat subscription-based revenues for Kleos were anticipated to commence in 2021-07-01 and increase further in 2021-10-01 with the addition of data from the Polar Vigilance cluster.
Kleos is developing a third satellite cluster, KSF2, that is scheduled to launch later 2021.
KSM1 satellites are being used to develop multiple space and ground segments for Kleos.
Kleos anticipates repeat subscription-based revenues to commence in 2021-07-01 and increase further in 2021-10-01 with the addition of data from the Polar Vigilance satellite cluster.
Kleos plans to expand its constellation with a third satellite cluster called the Polar Patrol Mission on track for a late 2021 launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9.
HawkEye 360 and Kleos each had satellites on Transporter-2 to support radio-frequency tracking constellations.
Kleos’ RF geolocation capability is used to improve detection of hidden and illegal activities, including piracy, drug and people smuggling, border security challenges, and illegal fishing.
Kleos’ first cluster, the KSM1 Scouting Mission, was launched in November 2020 into a 37-degree low Earth orbit.
Kleos uses clusters of four satellites to collect radio transmissions over key areas of interest around the globe and deliver processed geospatial data products to analytics and intelligence entities for government and commercial use.
Kleos received confirmation that KSF1 will launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station onboard the Spaceflight SXRS-5/SpaceX Transporter-2 mission targeted for 2021-06-29 (US).
