The commercial electronic intelligence (ELINT) satellite constellation start-up company Kleos Space has formally ordered a launch to carry its satellites into orbit on an Electron rocket in mid 2019.  The recently ordered  multiple (number undisclosed) GomSpace-built nanosatellites will be added to another called the Kleos Scouting Mission already being built by Gomspace.  The launch will take place from the Mahia Peninsula launch site in New Zealand.
