VSP RF B1, part of a commercial radio-frequency sensing satellite cluster testing signal detection and geolocation technology for future operational constellations, contributing to a commercial market segment that competes directly with HawkEye 360's established RF geolocation business. Completing this small formation, it contributes to a growing body of operational data on radio-frequency sensing from orbit — a commercial category that's expanded rapidly since HawkEye 360 proved the business case.
