Description:

The constellation is to consist of 150 satellites, with 170 satellites to be manufactured. The operational satellites reverted back to the 0.25U form factor after tracking of the prototypes had been successfully demonstrated.
- The first batch of 12 satellites was launched on 2 September 2020 on a Vega.
- The second batch of 24 satellites followed on 20 November 2020 on an Electron KS.
