By signing the ATP, Kleos Space authorizes GomSpace to launch the initial part of the project. The delivery of the satellite and the launch are scheduled in Q1 2019.

The first satellite system, being called ‘Scouting’ mission, is valued at over €2.2 million. It is planned that the satellite operations for the mission will be carried in Luxembourg.

The Kleos satellites will globally gather geolocated radio transmission data that will be provided to users as Activity Based Intelligence as a service to guard borders, protect assets and save lives. The intelligence product will be sold for search and rescue, maritime security and regulatory intelligence purposes to users for whom quality geospatial intelligence & situational awareness is essential. The Scouting mission will deliver a daily service with a full constellation delivering near-real-time global observation.
