they don't pack around a 'normal' deployment column as well, you either need a
starship style pez deployment (which isn't useful on things smaller than
starhips) or you need to do the spin/release approach, which can result in your
satellites colliding with each other (something nobody would ever consider with
traditional satellite 'pet' mentality)

they do not have as entrenched a tradition and are more willing to try things
than western 'old space' companies
