No, Tintin 1 and 2 were even earlier prototypes that piggybacked on the Paz launch.

There was also a full 60 satellite stack of v0.9 satellites that aren't counted towards the "production" constellation.

Ah, so that's what makes it 7th launch of 14 then?

Now I remember this launch last year around this time, and some of them were not able to maintain their orbit, but weren't the majority of them operational?
