The milestone mission is the first of five dedicated launches to deploy a 25-satellite constellation for Kinéis.
Sateliot secured €13.5m in funding over the past year, propelling swift progress towards a full commercial launch in 2024.
The group is led by satellite operators Eutelsat, SES, and Hispasat; and satellite makers Airbus Defence and Space and Thales Alenia Space.
The company has also introduced a private and secure network that provides 5G connectivity for IoT devices.
A new space traffic management feature could save constellation operators millions of euros.
Following the launch of a batch of four satellites in November 2022, the company efficiently commissioned, and manoeuvred them in record time.
