This gif is from our second satellite build in 2022.
Even then, one thing was already clear to me - if the goal is real scale, you cannot design a platform for only one mission.
You have to design it from the start for repeated deployment, cleaner integration, and lower friction when success has to happen again. That changes the design questions right down to subsystem and process level.
That same platform went on to support three very different payloads, helping us deliver three platforms in parallel from concept to integration in eight months in 2022.
Working once is one thing. Designing for speed and scale is another.
