Most of the companies looking at launching satellite constellations need lots of odd orbits.

And there are lots of companies doing this! Two looking at 100+ constellations local to me, and I'm in Adelaide, Australia.

It's possible that the bubble is in the companies and the rocket companies are spades. Or maybe there is no bubble and this is airmail and airplanes.

Do any of those constellations require only one satellite per orbit, though? Because if you need 5 satellites in that orbit, you're your own rideshare partner...
