Successful 2nd Launch For The Kinéis Constellation:

On 21 September 2024, at 01:02 (Paris time), Rocket Lab’s Electron launcher successfully put into orbit 5 new satellites in the Kinéis constellation dedicated to the Internet of Things (IoT) market, bringing to 10 the number of nanosatellites deployed out of the 25 planned. Ultimately, this 1st European constellation for the IoT will connect any object anywhere in the world, in near-real time, and transmit useful data for the applications needed to meet the challenges of our century. This was Electron’s 53rd mission.

A further step towards conquering the global IoT market Commenting on the success of this 2nd launch, Alexandre Tisserant, CEO of Kinéis and recently voted ‘Personality of the Year’ by La Tribune newspaper, said:

‘Kinéis has repeated the success of this 2nd launch.

Congratulations to the technical teams who are taking charge of these 5 new satellites in our constellation to get them into position. With 10 nanosatellites in the air, we are one step closer to making our commercial services available worldwide. In a few months’ time, Kinéis will be connecting thousands of objects and transmitting data to businesses and public bodies in a wide range of fields.”
