KLEOS data will indeed allow for the geolocation and tracking of assets and threats on land and at sea for both, security and humanitarian purposes.

Efforts of Governments and international organizations around the World to track and prevent illegal and harmful activities, such as piracy, human and arms trafficking, illegal fishing and pollution will hence become much easier and cost-effective.

I would sincerely like to congratulate KLEOS for the launch of these first satellites and wish you a lot of success!
