The second batch

Bureau 1440’s official timeline records the successful orbital deployment of its second satellite batch on 20 July 2026. On 23 March, it had reported the first 16 spacecraft of the target constellation. The July entry does not state the second batch’s size.

What makes up the network

The low-Earth-orbit communications project combines satellites, inter-satellite laser links, subscriber terminals and ground gateways. Spacecraft provide the orbital part of the system, while terminals and gateways connect it to users and terrestrial infrastructure.

From launch to connection

Expanding the constellation adds spacecraft for network testing. User connections also require ground equipment and service arrangements. The company’s July entry describes satellite deployment; it does not set out commercial access terms.
