They will almost certainly change the rules once the injunction finalizes. Call your representative and tell them what’s going on.

You think being sold to private equity is going to make them remove the shelf locks?

You’d be surprised how well modern cubesats are already designed implicitly with high-G components. There was a video about them testing an “off-the-shelf” sat from a professor and it held up with only some minor modifications.

I’ll judge, that is a dumb as fuck.
