The rocket launch business is expensive and risky, and then there are the technical requirements: Launch providers have to ensure a customer's delicate and expensive spacecraft survives the trip to orbit.

In a note to investors Friday, they said that the company "is disrupting this model entirely" by applying the ride sharing concept to satellites.
