KaleidEO Space Systems

Overview

PRE-LAUNCH

Technology

Payloads — OPT-120 wide-swath multispectral imager

Payloads — OPT-70 high-resolution payload

Orbit: VLEO ~380 km

Constellation: Four micro-satellites

Bands: 6 bands — RGB + NIR, PAN, Red Edge; ~65 km swath at nadir, near-metre resolution

Edge performance: Claimed 99% reduction in processing time — 15 minutes of ground processing done in ~10 seconds onboard

Optical downlink ambition: Exploring optical ground links to raise throughput from 500 Mbps to 5–10 Gbps

Key achievements

First Indian company to demonstrate edge computing in space, September 2023, analysing Satellogic imagery in-orbit using Spiral Blue hardware

Payload aerial testing completed

PDR completed for avionics architecture and software stack under ESA's InCubed programme with partner ReOrbit (Helsinki)

Funding

Structure: SatSure subsidiary, capitalised from SatSure's $15M Series A; separate raise in progress

Research notes

Slip history: Fleet launch has moved from 2025 → Q3 2026 → 2026. Track carefully.
