iQPS announced that QPS-SAR 8, which launched on SpaceX’s Transporter-11 on August 17th, is working. This is welcomed new, of course, since QPS-SAR 5 and 6 failed in orbit resulting in early termination of missions. iQPS also posted on Twitter images taken from QPS-SAR 8.

The press release also disclosed iQPS’s primary customers remain government accounts. iQPS ability to reach its long term revenue forecast remains in doubt. But hopefully this satellite will not present problems after launch like QPS-SAR 5 and 6 failed in orbit resulting in early termination of missions. iQPS also posted on Twitter images taken from QPS-SAR 8.
