Kinéis develops a constellation of nanosatellites to provide global connectivity and data collection for IoT, working with terrestrial IoT operators, device manufacturers and existing satellite operators. The company debuted in 2018 as a CLS Group spin-off and is Occitanie-based. Kinéis aims to add 25 nanosatellites and place them into orbit by 2022, with a goal of connecting several million objects worldwide by 2030. Its first components include Argos operational payloads on seven satellites and the ANGELS prototype, launched in December 2019. The satellites will weigh under 30 kg, be fitted with electric propulsion for end-of-life de-orbiting and include collision-avoidance capabilities to comply with France’s Space Operations Act and reduce space debris. Kinéis has appointed Alexandre Tisserant as President and secured funding to focus on satellite manufacturing and commercial deployment.
