That's on the launch pad.
We're doing our final checks.
Nice.
So we're looking to launch that.
Countdown.
The key technologies that we've sort of seen really evolve are twofold.
One is firstly the real sort of, I guess, growth in what we call low Earth orbit satellites.
These are satellites that orbit around the Earth anywhere between 160 kilometers and 2,000 kilometers above the Earth.
They fly around the Earth in around about 90 minutes.
Because they're quite close to Earth, they have low latency in terms of their signal reaching the Earth.
If you're looking to have connectivity with a satellite, it's really good to be close to the Earth's surface.
The problem being is that when you're close to the Earth's surface, your field of vision or the amount of the Earth's surface that you can cover is quite small.
And so what we saw was that Starlink, which is one of Elon Musk's ventures within SpaceX, really revolutionized this by creating what we call a constellation of satellites.
And this has allowed other companies to sort of follow down that path.
And the provision of services like broadband internet from space have become a reality.
And so use cases, whether they be in rural areas or in disasters, or indeed, there's been some really interesting stories where Starlink was basically switched on over Ukraine after the Russians were able to do a cyber attack and take out Ukraine's communication network.
it's really sort of provided a vital backup for areas where, you know, we don't necessarily have good coverage for the internet.
And just, you know, 30% of the world's population don't actually have access to internet.
So services like Starlink that provide, you know, broadband internet coverage are going to be critical moving forward.
Yeah, so these applications where you're able to earn revenue from outside the space industry are critical.
