BRO-18: Unseenlabs Announces Upcoming Launch of New Satellite to Fight the Invisible at Sea

Lift off is scheduled for this month from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California aboard the Transporter-14 rideshare mission with SpaceX via launch integrator Exolaunch.

With BRO-18, we’re expanding our constellation and increasing revisit frequency across strategic maritime zones. Our technology detects radio frequency signals from ships, even when they operate without AIS. That means we can provide critical intelligence on dark ships—those trying to remain hidden. Clément Galic, CEO & co-founder of Unseenlabs says:

This new satellite strengthens our promise: to deliver high-quality, independent, and exploitable data that supports strategic maritime decision-making.

From illegal fishing to environmental risk, maritime security, and insurance analysis—we continue to support decision-makers with reliable, space-based intelligence.

We’re also looking ahead. In 2026, we’ll begin deploying a second RF constellation designed to extend our capabilities to land, air, and space domains.
