Is it bad that my thought in response was, well if you consider suborbital rockets a fractional satellite, then you can analytically continue the function of satellites over time all the way back to the invention of blackpowder? 1 satellite = ability to orbit at least once = ~150 km apogee. So a 150m launch would be 1 millisatellite...
I too probably should lay off the coffee.
