Kleos Space wins first South American contract

Kleos Space S.A. (ASX: KSS, Frankfurt: KS1), a space-powered Radio Frequency Reconnaissance data-as-a-service (DaaS) company, is proud to inform that it has received its first South American pre-order secured by regional expert Pierre Duquesne who was engaged in July 2019.

Pierre Duquesne, a Franco-German executive, was the former Managing Director for Airbus Intelligence in South America and has over 20 years' experience in the Regional Space Industry.

Kleos' CEO Andy Bowyer says: "We are pleased at the rapid progress we were able to make thanks to Pierre in the short time since his engagement as our representative for the South American market.

We continue to pursue pre-orders as we eagerly anticipate launch of the Kleos' Scouting Mission in Q4 this year."

Kleos Space's independent data solutions will provide defence, security and commercial users with access to a cost-effective daily geolocation intelligence to guard borders, protect assets and save lives.

The Corporacion Andina de Fomento (CAF), the Latin American Development bank, suggests the outlook by 2040 for the maritime and port sector in Latin America and the Caribbean with an attractive environment for growth with planned investments over 45 billion euros in the coming decade.

Kleos' RF Reconnaissance data products are available in three levels - Guardian RF, Guardian LOCATE and Guardian UDT. Kleos will start processed data delivery through its Guardian LOCATE Product.

The multi-satellite Scouting Mission system will form the foundation of a constellation that delivers a global picture of hidden maritime activity, enhancing the intelligence capability of government and commercial entities when AIS (Automatic Identification System) is defeated, imagery is unclear, or targets are out of patrol range.

The first scouting mission is made up of 4x nano-satellites built by GomSpace in Denmark, each the size of a shoebox.

An Inside Look at Hurricane Dorian from a Mini Satellite
Pasadena CA (JPL) Sep 05, 2019
A new view of Hurricane Dorian shows the layers of the storm, as seen by an experimental NASA weather satellite that's the size of a cereal box. TEMPEST-D reveals rain bands in four layers of the storm as Hurricane Dorian approaches Florida on Sept. 3, 2019. The multiple vertical layers show where the strongest convective "storms" within the hurricane are pushing high into the atmosphere, with pink, red and yellow corresponding to the areas of heaviest rainfall. Known as a CubeSat, TEMPEST-D ... read more
