No word about their plans, but a video on the steps taken to ruggedise a cube sat for 10k·g acceleration. Seems like they’re still doing something.

Seems pretty cool! That required a lot less epoxy than I (and they) expected.
That said, I’m still not convinced that ruggedizing satellites will be worth the bother for marginally cheaper launch costs in the long term. I think SpinLaunch would be better suited for launching raw materials, especially from bodies without an atmosphere, like the Moon or asteroids.
