LatinSat B, one of a pair of Argentine-American commercial store-and-forward messaging satellites built by SpaceQuest, providing early machine-to-machine data relay for South American customers years before the term 'satellite IoT' existed. The LatinSat satellites were a direct precursor to SpaceQuest's later, much larger AprizeSat constellation.
