#SpaceLaunch boasts that “it has supported the successful deployment of more than 150 satellites across 12 different launch vehicles.” However, according to public records, it does not appear that the company itself has supported a single launch. Instead, the claim seems to credit SpaceLaunch with launches that were actually carried out during the two founders’ previous tenures at Spaceflight, #Firefly Aerospace, #NorthropGrumman, and the US #AirForce https://europeanspaceflight.com/avio-signs-deal-to-launch-satellite-for-extra-european-customer
