KSS (ASX) Launch

Sure there has been some ups and downs, but in the end holders will be rewarded and the trolls will be silenced.

Kleos have released their quarterly this morning. The key highlight being that the delivery of satellites to the launch site is scheduled for the 11th of Feb, 2020.

We expect launch to occur within 1 week of delivery based on industry standard, i.e. mid-February 2020, and shortly after Kleos to start receiving data and therefore revenue.

With over $5m in contracts already secured pre-launch, combined with multiple contracts expected to be received once data is being received from the satellites, 2020 should be a pivotal year for the company in which revenue ramp-up begins.
