Unseenlabs will launch its
9th satellite to strengthen
its position
March 30, 2023
Unseenlabs is announcing the
coming launch of BRO-9, the 9th satellite of
its constellation dedicated to the geolocation of
all the vessels at sea. BRO-9 will be launched in
April 2023 as part of Transporter-7 Mission aboard
SpaceX’s launcher Falcon 9 from the
Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. This
launch is a step forward for the development of
Unseenlabs.
Unseenlabs provides unmatched
solutions for maritime surveillance, based on
exclusive radio
frequency data to allow the geolocation and
characterization of any type of vessel anywhere
around
the globe. Many public and private customers (French
Navy, NGOs, marine insurers, etc.) are already
using these solutions.
Jonathan Galic, CTO and
co-founder of Unseenlabs, states: “The launch of
BRO-9 is an important
milestone for Unseenlabs and our solutions’ ongoing
development, the most advanced in the
industry. Our one-of-a-kind technology allows our
customers to make informed strategic decisions
to protect their assets and preserve ocean
biodiversity.”
Clément Galic, CEO and
co-founder of Unseenlabs, adds: “BRO-9 will
strengthen our capabilities to
detect and track vessels — including uncooperative
ones — and to fight against unlawful activities at
sea (IUU fishing, smuggling, piracy, marine
pollution, etc.). Unlike conventional maritime
surveillance
systems, our technology is limitless: at any time of
the day or night, anywhere on the globe, and in any
weather conditions, we can detect all the vessels
navigating at sea, even those willing to go
uncovered. We are convinced that our solutions offer
significant added value to our customers, and
contribute to creating safer oceans and seas for
all.”
