Jilin1-ConstellationPlan-202411.jpg
like this is pretty cool
jilin-1 is basically doing 2 sats with greater than 300 sats by 2027.
one that will be complete this year with 10 min revisit time and 0.5m resolution

the other one is more about global coverage and will have full global coverage once per day. I assume it will just continue to get bigger over time.
