The Nemesis series of satellites are geostationary COMINT satellites to intercept transmissions to commercial communications satellites. These satellites were known at launch by the names PAN and CLIO or the program designation P360. Nemesis 1, PAN (Palladium At Night) or P360 was procured by an unidentified US Government Agency from Lockheed Martin in October 2006 on a 30-month firm-fixed-price program. Later the satellites were identified in leaked documents as NRO's Nemesis satellites.
