Rennes, France – November 28, 2025 – Unseenlabs, the global pioneer in space-based radio frequency (RF) detection, announces the successful launch of its satellites, BRO-17 and BRO-20. The mission, titled “LEVEL TWENTY,” lifted off from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, aboard SpaceX’s Transporter-15 rideshare mission, with the support of Exolaunch.
With this launch, Unseenlabs reaches a major milestone in the development of its BRO satellite constellation. BRO-20 marks a symbolic step forward, illustrating the growing maturity of a unique constellation capable of detecting and characterizing vessels anywhere in the world through their electromagnetic emissions, even when they do not appear in traditional tracking systems.
A COMPANY SCALING UP FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER
Beyond this technical success, 2025 represents a year of transformation for Unseenlabs. The company has strengthened its leadership team with several strategic appointments: William Durieux has joined the team as Chief of Staff, and Marc Pilorget now leads operations as Chief of Operations. These additions support Unseenlabs’ rapid growth and prepare the company for the deployment of its next-generation satellites, planned for 2026.
EXPANDING INTERNATIONAL PRESENCE
Unseenlabs has also achieved a new milestone in its international development. This year, the company opened a subsidiary in Singapore with a dedicated team covering the Asia-Pacific region, as well as a U.S. entity led by Craig Brower, serving as chief executive for the U.S. expansion and based in the United States. This expansion strengthens Unseenlabs’ proximity to both institutional and private clients in strategic regions, confirming the company’s growing global footprint
LOOKING AHEAD TO A NEW DECADE
Founded in 2015, Unseenlabs celebrates its tenth anniversary this year. In just a decade, the company has evolved from an innovative startup to a recognized global player. Selected by the European Space Agency (ESA) as part of the Copernicus Contributing Missions, Unseenlabs is now preparing for a new phase: the launch of its second generation of satellites, which will expand RF detection capabilities to land and space domains, while further strengthening its maritime expertise.
“The successful launch of BRO-17 and BRO-20 is a source of great pride for our entire team,” said Clément and Jonathan Galic, co-founders of Unseenlabs. “It marks a symbolic milestone for our constellation and validates the relevance of a technology we’ve been developing for ten years. This success also reflects the transformation of our organization and our global expansion, with teams now established in Europe, Asia, and the United States. As we enter our next decade, our ambition is clear: to solidify Unseenlabs’ position as the global benchmark for multi-domain RF detection.”
