"Customer" satellites. What 'Customer' , what is their 'Mission' ?
The details are in the third video.
"Image the entire earth, every single day." (read that spy satellites, always overhead, everywhere)
"Endless applications..."
Except google maps will still be censored and months old data.
The only people that need to see "the whole earth every day" are militaristic control freaks.

sooner or later the sheer number of satellites and associated (infamous) 'space debris' in orbit are going to reach critical mass. they will be ploughing into each other. chaos ensues.

wonder if satellites like these will be visible with the naked eye at night...
Not a chance! Even the comparatively huge ISS is seen only as a bright dot in the night sky.

Customer-a person who buys goods or services from a shop or business.
Small satellites as there was 104 of them all sent up to spy on the paranoid they are watching you

If you reviewed OP video, they are filled with glee, because for the first time in history the whole earth is visible directly, all the time. There will always be a satellite over head, no more moving in secret before the next pass.
Equa-distant spread of fixed position surveillance satellites allows at least one and up to three angles of view upon any point on earths surface, at any time.
Don't worry intrptr at 0.8 mtr resolution they wont see your face or number plates or you scratching your backside
