David,
Something to put on the To Do List. There is a great deal of experience on that team, and it shows in how fast they are able to move to reach initial operational capability.

According to a report I saw from the NSS, they also deployed 4 CubeSats. Not a useful orbit for us, but a sign of good things to come. Alan WA4SCA
Hi Alan.
If they waited until the second stage had been removed from LEO, those cubesats would have had an apogee of 11,000km
A very nice orbit......if it could be circularised to avoid the radiation belts.
Thanks
