The first craft, Skynet 5A was launched from Kourou in French Guiana on 11 March 2007. There will be a constellation of three satellites in total.

They work with Nato, France, Germany, Canada, Portugal and the Netherlands. They are also seeking new business in the US, Australia and the Middle East." Read more of this story at Slashdot.
