Well, yeah. Some guy wakes up, checks the weather on his smartphone and thinks "It'll be fine." The payload module gets up there, the doors open, someone says "Release the satellites!" and fwashoom, fwashoom, fwashoom, fwashoom, fwashoom, fwashoom, fwashoom, fwashoom a battery of large spud guns launches 8 satellites into orbit. This gets repeated two more times.
I suppose they could use giant slinghots rather than spud guns. Whatever, I'm certain they are not using trebuchets as them don't work well in space.
