As part of HUSAT, 4iG plans to launch one geostationary telecommunication satellite (HUGEO) and eight low Earth orbit VHR1 Earth observation satellites (HULEO) by 2032 and operate them during their lifetime. The HULEO constellation will consist of six electro-optical satellites (HUEOP) and two synthetic aperture radar satellites (HUSAR).

4iG said Eutelsat is a leading multi orbit satellite operator. It operates its own satellites with a track record of more than 40 years in operating a fleet of satellites – currently 34 telecommunications satellites in GEO and approximately 600 in LEO – and it manages orbital rights and frequencies in cooperation with international and French regulatory authorities.
