Why was there a 17 year delay between the 2nd launch and 3rd launch?

  People became less interested in the smallsat launch market for a long time.

  Those earlier launches were as a two-stage sounding rocket. The three-stage variant capable of putting a payload in orbit first launched in 2017; it made orbit on its second flight earlier this year. SS-520 is a one-off experimental project, not something they intend to put into regular commercial service.

    Why not? I bet the'll have success with cubesats.
