Ok, so there are 7 satellites from 3 different countries. The Netherlands Defense dept. has 4 small imaging satellites that were part of the payloads.

The carrier aircraft, a modified Boeing 747 named Cosmic Girl, took off at 9:53AM ET. Less than an hour later at 10:47AM, a 70-foot-long two-stage rocket called LauncherOne dropped from the plane’s left wing and ignited its single engine to zoom toward the edge of Earth’s atmosphere. The rocket is carrying the Netherlands’ first military satellite, four tiny satellites from a Defense Department test program, and the first two of 14 imaging satellites for SatRevolution’s constellation.

Not to be picky but they might want to give Elon a call about streaming equipment. It's good to see another commercial launch vehicle even if it's kinda small.
