Next month, the first phase of our proliferated architecture is currently scheduled to launch as NROL-146. We've already launched a number of demonstrations over the last few years to verify cost and performance, but this will be the first launch of an operational system. These systems will increase timeliness of access, diversify communications pathways, and enhance our resilience. Approximately half a dozen of these launches are planned for 2024, with additional launches expected through 2028.
You'll hear more details about launch locations, dates, and times as they approach.
