Kestrel Eye is an electro-optical, nanosatellite being developed by the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command.
A network of tiny satellites as small as a dorm-room refrigerator could one day give military troops on the ground a real-time look at what’s lurking over the next hill.
The first of these satellites, known as Kestrel Eye, will be launched Monday morning aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket loaded with NASA supplies for the International Space Station.
