Kleos Space, the space-powered Radio Frequency Reconnaissance data-as-a-service (DaaS) company, recently announced that it's our Patrol Mission (KSF2) satellites are targeted to launch on the 1st of April 2022. The satellites will launch from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The Observer Mission, the fourth cluster in Kleos' constellation, is scheduled to launch in mid-2022.
Kleos Space CEO Andy Bowyer said, “The launch of our third cluster of four satellites will enable us to further increase the volume of our precision geolocation data. The need for cost-effective intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities has never been greater and we are continuing to rapidly develop our constellation to cater to this demand. Our radio frequency data is increasingly being incorporated into aggregated datasets to enhance or verify other commercial GEOINT datasets.”
