Data from the KSM1 Scouting Mission is being delivered to customers and is being used to develop multiple space and ground segments for Kleos Space.
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 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).
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.
The Kleos Scouting Mission satellites launched in November into a 37-degree inclined orbit.
The first Kleos satellite system is the Kleos Scouting Mission (KSM), which will deliver commercially available data and perform as a technology demonstration.
The Polar Vigilance Mission will provide global data to increase Kleos’s overall coverage density in the equatorial region.
Kleos Space dispatched a cluster of four Polar Vigilance Mission satellites (KSF1) from Delft in the Netherlands to Cape Canaveral for a launch onboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 under a rideshare contract with Spaceflight Inc no earlier than June 2021.
Kleos scheduled the Polar Patrol Mission (KSF2) to launch at the end of 2021 onboard a SpaceX Falcon 9.
Kleos planned to launch the third satellite cluster into a 500–600 km Sun Synchronous Orbit (SSO).
Kleos signed a contract with Innovative Solutions in Space B.V. (ISISPACE) for ISISPACE to build and support Kleos’ third satellite cluster, the Polar Patrol Mission (KSF2).
Kleos will pay approximately 2,450,000 EUR for the ISISPACE contract in milestone-based installments.
ISISPACE was preparing Kleos’ second satellite cluster, the Polar Vigilance Mission (KSF1), for dispatch to the launch site in the week commencing 2021-05-31.
Kleos planned to launch its satellite clusters into a 500–600 km Sun-synchronous orbit.
Kleos’ Polar Vigilance Mission cluster (KSF1) was expected to be delivered to the launch site in the week commencing 31st May 2021.
The Polar Patrol Mission was expected to create opportunities for higher-value subscriptions by increasing revisit frequency over commercial areas of interest and adding data products to Kleos’ inventory.
Kleos scheduled the Polar Patrol Mission (KSF2) to launch at the end of 2021 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9.
Kleos Space raised $13,800,000 following the 2021-11-07 launch of its first cluster of four radio-frequency mapping satellites.
Kleos Space is funded to launch four more satellites toward the end of 2021 and is planning ten four-satellite clusters in total.
Three other companies raising capital to deploy commercial radio-frequency mapping networks are Aurora Insight, Kleos Space, and Unseenlabs.
