The Kleos Space constellation detects radio transmissions and pinpoints their origin and timing, enabling governments and organisations to detect activity such as illegal fishing, and piracy, and also identify those in need of search and rescue at sea. ISISPACE designed and built the second cluster of four 6U CubeSats in a timeframe of 4 months and was selected to build the third cluster as well.

On June 29, 2021, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched 88 satellites into orbit, including Kleos Space’s Polar Vigilance Mission (KSF1) and the Faraday Phoenix satellite. The KSF1 mission, consisting of four satellites, was built by ISISPACE to enhance RF geolocation data for maritime intelligence. ISISPACE played a key role in developing the spacecraft, ensuring efficient deployment. These satellites will leverage advanced mission control software to streamline operations throughout their lifespan.
