As announced in a press release on Tuesday, the Dutch Innovative Solutions in Space (Isispace) will provide a turnkey solution including design, development, production, testing, launch integration services and support for the initial orbit phase.

Kleos satellites collect data which is used to detect and geolocate radio frequency transmissions, improving the detection of illegal activities, including piracy, drug and human trafficking, border security issues and illegal fishing. Such data is then sold as a service to governments and business entities.

Isispace is also preparing the second group of Kleos satellites for dispatch to the launch site in the coming days.
