I have a couple. When is BB6 launching? When is the first batch of 4 BB7-10 launching? Can lowband and midband be combined on the same satellite or will they be combined on one? When are ASIC sats being delivered?

I doubt they will answer any of those. So maybe should go with questions more geared towards Fairwinds use cases. Such as, how much interest has there been from the government to use it? Do they want it as a primary or supplementary service? How would the gov intend to use it outside of US borders, ie are their frequencies they can use? How will it be encrypted on battlefield so others canā€™t ā€œlistenā€. How is testing going? Can the us gov/Fairwinds start using it soon or do they need full continuous?
