Abstract
The Mission
Launch date: 07 November 2021
Mission name: KSM1 (Kleos Scouting Mission)
Satellites names: KSM1-A, KSM1-B, KSM1-C, KSM1-D
NORAD-ID: 46912, 46914, 46906, 46907
Application: RF Reconnaissance and Geospatial Intelligence
Mission characteristics:
Kleos Space SA (KSS) Scouting Mission (KSM) first cluster of spacecraft, was launched on the 7th of November 2021, comprising four 6U cubesat flying in a close formation. The formation maintains the along and across track distance between the four spacecraft, enabling KSS proprietary algorithms to geolocate Radio Frequency transmitters.
GSaaS:
- Leaf Space provides communication through their Leaf Line GSaaS (Ground Segment as-a-Service) with stations in Italy and Spain supporting the mission with UHF
Maximize Contact Availability of SmallSat Clusters through MSPA Technique on GSaaS
