Thanks Dan, here's what Wiki has to say: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STRaND-1 I don't recall ever hearing the terms "nanosatellite" and "cubesat" before. I wonder how many reception bars they get in orbit? ;-) On Mon, Mar 25, 2013 at 7:02 AM, Daniel Holmes <danielh@holmesonics.com>wrote:
Didn't see it, but according to satellite safari, it's the rocket body for the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle. It carried STRaND-1, a satellite powered by a Google Nexus 1 phone. It launched a month ago.
Look up STRaND-1, interesting satellite.
