This stuff is very cool. Each little sat has it's own ion engine which will place itself into its own designated orbit.
Anyone know how long it takes for the satelites to obtain their proper orbit?
Probably a few weeks, ion engines are efficient but weak as fuck.
I think I read it takes a few weeks on average.
Had no idea. But that makes since as the thrust is so small.
