Space-based phone location-tracking firm HawkEye 360 announced its partnership with U.S. weapons manufacturer Lockheed Martin this morning. The UAE military is allegedly a "strong" customer.
The 21 satellites were launched as seven separate "clusters" of three. Six of the seven clusters were launched on SpaceX rockets, but one was launched by New Zealand's Rocket Lab.
Hawkeye 360 uses 21 satellites, so who owns the satellites (and are they paid for by traffic), or, if Hawkeye 360 owns them, who launched them?
